Journalists in Akwa Ibom State have decided to boycott the activities at the Akwa Ibom House of Assembly.
The decision is contained in a communique issued on Wednesday in Uyo after the monthly congress of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Akwa Ibom State Council.
The reason for the boycott is the appointment of a non-journalist as the press secretary to the speaker of the Assembly, according to the communique which was signed by the NUJ chairperson in Akwa Ibom, Amos Etuk, the NUJ Secretary in the state, Dominic Akpan, chairperson of the communique drafting committee, Iniobong Ekponta, and two other members of the committee.
