Her administration has given renewed attention to infrastructural development and efforts to create a more conducive environment for the council\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of particular importance is her determination to improve journalists\u2019 welfare, especially access to healthcare for practitioners in Abuja. Given the demanding nature of journalism and the risks associated with the profession, prioritising members\u2019 health and wellbeing is a responsibility that deserves recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her engagement with stakeholders and efforts to address issues affecting members further demonstrate the importance of responsive union leadership. I encourage her to sustain these initiatives and continue pursuing practical measures that will improve the working conditions and welfare of journalists across the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My encounter with Comrade Grace Ike reinforced my belief that a strong union depends on committed leadership, effective representation and genuine concern for members. I wish her and the NUJ FCT Council continued success in promoting press freedom, professional excellence and journalists\u2019 welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By God\u2019s grace, we move!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pix: Mustapha with Grace this morning By Isiaka Mustapha, Editor-in-Chief, People\u2019s Security Monitor An early morning conversation on the sidelines of a security related meeting with Comrade Grace Ike, Chairman&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":30979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pages"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BY GOD\u2019S GRACE, WE MOVE!
