Betty Aguiyi-Ironsi emphasized the importance of the media in national development. “We see the media as partners in progress. Your publicity ensures we get the visibility we deserve,” she said. Ijeoma Osuji reiterated the hotel’s appreciation for the media support received from the NUJ-FCT Council.
