“This inauguration marks a significant milestone in our efforts to enhance the practice of digital journalism in Jigawa State. The establishment of online media chapels is authorized under the amended provisions of Article 5 of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Constitution.
“This inclusion was officially ratified during a Special Delegates Conference held in Kano in 2022, where the constitution was amended to recognize and integrate online/digital journalism practice into the union.
