UGHELLI— WIFE of the Delta State governor, Mrs Roli Uduaghan, has charged journalists in the country to always verify their stories before publishing and avoid reports that could mislead the general public, urging journalists to do their job with the fear of God.
Mrs Uduaghan spoke at a prayer session with journalists at the state council of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Asaba, tagged NUJ Solemn Assembly, with the theme Redeeming Our Lost Glory.
Noting that false reports may have caused some lives, she appealed to journalists to turn to Christ, adding “since you have invited God into your affairs, you will grow and live in an acceptable way.
“You know God’s ways are not man’s ways. But the acceptable way that God approves is what you must follow. It is my prayer that you live like that and the God you have invited will definitely lift you up.”
Earlier in a sermon, Pastor Nelson Orisa reiterated that Jesus Christ came to die for the sins of man and appealed to journalists in the state to work for the truth.
State chairman of NUJ, Mr. Norbet Chiazor, thanked Mrs Roli Uduaghan and her team for finding time to pray with journalists in the state.
