A new president and other Central Working Committee, CWC, members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, are expected to emerge today as the union converge on Umuahia for its Triennial Delegates Conference.
Delegates from the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) are already in Umuahia for the conference.
The national officers will spend three years in office.
It was reported that Umuahia has been witnessing beehive of activities since Tuesday.
NUJ President, Mr. Chris Isiguzo who is seeking a return in a statement to welcome all delegates to Umuahia, said the ex-parte Order obtained from the National Industrial Court of Nigeria by some members of the union in Ogun State restraining the union from holding the conference, had been vacated by the court in Ibadan.
This development according to Isiguzo had cleared all encumbrances for the union to go ahead with the delegates’ conference.
He explained that the opening ceremony of the conference is expected to commence at 9am at Dr. Michael Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia.
