In a statement issued and signed on Wednesday in Abuja by the Secretary of Council, Comrade Jide Oyekunle the union wished all its members a Merry Christmas and prosperous 2025 in advance.

The union called on members to use the occasion to rededicate themselves to the work of God and pray fervently for the union against the untimely death that ravaged the council recently. 
“ The Nigeria Union of Journalists ( NUJ )  FCT Council wishes to extend its heartfelt felicitation to its members in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). 

“ We implore you to use the lessons of the Christmas season to foster peace and prosperity for development of the journalism profession and the country as a whole. We should pray to God and ask Him to put an end to untimely death in our council.

“ Christmas is a season of love and sober reflection on an exemplary life of Jesus Christ to touch lives positively in the society as taught in the Holy Bible by the Saviour whose birthday we are celebrating. Let us reach out in our own little way and put a smile on somebody’s face today. 

“ This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the blessings we have received and for keeping us alive despite the economic reality and challenge in the country.
