The union expressed dissatisfaction with Abuja Electricity Distribution company (AEDC) for epileptic power supply in the State, despite the state government\u2019s effort to provide prepaid meter and transformers.<\/p>\n

It resolved to install a WiFi that can take up to 40 people at a time at the NUJ secretariat for its members to have easy access to the internet.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the union commended Niger State Government for the financial assistance to attend the just concluded NUJ National delegates conference in Umuahia, Abia State.<\/p>\n
