DELEGATES may not have to buy newspapers, unless if their preferred choices are not among the complimentary copies brought daily to both National Judicial Institute, NJI and the NICON Hotel venues of the 20 committees.

Although, delegates have become used to collecting free copies of newspapers, mostly new national dailies and weeklies which seem to be begging for attention, it was discovered yesterday that more newspapers have joined the fray.

Most of the newspapers which have been advertising their ‘products’ are mostly Abuja based but surprisingly, two Lagos-based newspapers which appeared in the newspaper market not quite long, came in full force yesterday with truck loads of copies of newspapers which could be estimated at over 1000 copies each for delegates and anybody they could find on sight.

Following this development, delegates don’t buy newspapers again as they wait for free copies.
But one interesting thing is that most of the delegates abandon the newspapers after the close of work everyday, thus leaving workers with the responsibility of cleaning the venues.
