“NAWOJ Lagos is proud to have Dr. Abimbola Oyetunde as a member of our chapter. She represents what is possible through dedication, excellence, and service. We look forward to her continued mentorship and support,” Johnson said.
She further recalled that Dr. Oyetunde served meritoriously as General Manager of Bronze FM, Benin City, where she spent nearly a decade contributing to the growth and professionalism of the station.
The NAWOJ Lagos Chairperson also used the opportunity to brief the NUJ Deputy National President on the association’s programmes and planned activities for the new year, all aimed at advancing the mission and vision of NAWOJ and strengthening women’s participation in journalism.
In her response, Dr. Abimbola Oyetunde expressed appreciation to the NAWOJ Lagos delegation for the visit and the honour accorded her. She encouraged the executives to explore additional platforms and initiatives that would further strengthen the association and enhance its impact.
