Asaba— Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has vowed not to discontinue the periodic training programme for journalists serving in the state at the Thompson Reuters Foundation in London.

He stated this at the opening of Delta State chapter of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Delta Press Week in Asaba, yesterday.

Uduaghan said the negative publications authored by some journalists in the state, who felt left out of the programme, would not make his government stop the programme.

He said: “We will continue the programme to shame the bad belle people.”

Noting that journalists should know that everyone would take his turn, the governor said: “The state government sponsored the programme as part of its belief in human capital development.

“We know that your employers may not be in a position to organise training programme for you.”
