By Philip Tayo 

The Online Media Chapel of the Nigeria Union Of Journalists, NUJ, Ekiti State Council has emerged as the Best Chapel on Saturday during the 2024 Press Week Dinner Party, held at the G- BOSS Hotel and Event Centre in Ado Ekiti, the State capital, thereby leading 10 other Chapels in the State. 

Making the announcement on Saturday, the State Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ekiti State Council, Comrade Kayode Babatuyi announced the Online Media Chapel as the Best Chapel. 

It was however confirmed that the Online Media Chapel won the award based on its ingenuity, timely and accurate reportage of events which has placed the Chapel above all other Chapels of NUJ in the State as the members of the public now rely on it as the best source of news especially now that newspaper organisations can no longer print much copies due to high cost of printing materials, just as the radio and television stations in the state can no longer also run it for several hours due to high cost of diesel as source of power.

Receiving the monetary award, the Chairman of the Online Media in Ekiti, Comrade Ayodele Abere, commended the leadership of NUJ in the State for taking record of performances of each of the eleven chapels in the State. 

Comrade Abere used the occasion to charge all online journalists to brace up for more tasks ahead, saying the recognition would spur the Chapel to do more by giving accurate and objective reportage to all happenings.
