Ebonyi Broadcasting Corporation Boss Charges Journalists On Effective Reportage 

The Director General of the Ebonyi Broadcasting Corporation (EBBC), Comrade Tony Nwizi, has urged media practitioners to be effective in their professional calling, emphasizing the need for them to promote healthy government policies and programs in a good light in the State.

This was contained in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Victor Nwegede, in Abakaliki, the State Capital.

Nwizi, who made the call when he played host to the Association of Izzi Media Workers in his office, observed that leadership had never been an easy task and called for collective prayer and support for the leaders of the state.

He commended the members of the Association for coming to his office to officially congratulate him on his appointment by the governor as the EBBC DG.

Nwizi, the immediate past Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ebonyi State Council, also commended the Izhi Media Workers for appointing him to be the Chairman of the Elders’ Council of the Association and promised that he would not take the offer for granted.

He further urged the members of the Association to be supportive of the Governor Francis Nwifuru-led administration to ensure the successful implementation of his People’s Charter of Needs mantra in Ebonyi State.

“Always support the Governor no matter the condition, bearing in mind that whatever happens, we are in it together. You have to always pray for him because it’s not easy. Pray for him to survive every tribulation and trial that may come his way during his administration,” Nwizi said.

Earlier, the National President of Izzi Media Workers, Comrade Emmanuel Nwizi, congratulated Comrade Tony Nwizi for having performed creditably well in various positions he occupied, which, according to him, led to his recent appointment as the Director General of the state-owned broadcast station, EBBC.

He extolled Governor Francis Nwifuru for appointing Nwizi as the EBBC DG and promised that the association would never relent in supporting him to deliver his administration’s agenda successfully.

Corroborating, the National Secretary General of the Association, Comrade Moses Nwite, commended Comrade Nwizi for setting standards in the media constituency and urged him to sustain the tempo while rendering services to humanity.

The National Treasurer of the Association, Comrade Sunday Odom, expressed the readiness of the body to ensure that the good programs and policies of the state government would not be underreported.
