The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Correspondents Chapel in Taraba State has impeached its leadership under the Chairmanship of Wole Ayodele of Thisday Newspaper for persistently violating the constitution of the Union.
Mr Sani Sulaiman, who read the vote of no confidence on Saturday at the NUJ Centre in Jalingo on behalf of 18 out of 25 members who signed the vote of no confidence said that the leadership of the Chapel has refused to hold Congress for the past two years.
Sulaiman who is the correspondent of the Federal Radio Corporation Nigeria (FRCN), said that their inability to hold congress translates to lack of transparency and accountability in the administration of the chapel.
He directed the deposed executives to hand over all union’s property in their possession to the acting Chairman, Malam Magaji Hunkuyi of the Daily Trust within 24 hours.
The Congress directed the Acting officials to conduct elections that will produce a new exco for the Chapel within 30 days.
Also the Congress has set up a five man investigative panel to probe the activities of the desolved exco and report their findings to the union within 21 days.
The panel is headed by Mr. Ben Adaji, correspondent of New Telegraph while Mr. Salisu Waziri of Voice of Nigeria (VON) is to serve as Secretary.
