The statement commended Alhaji Atere, a veteran journalist, and Hajia Adewuyi, an ace broadcaster, for their long-standing commitment to professionalism, having served in various roles with diligence, passion, and an unwavering commitment to the public good.

According to the Union, both Atere and Adewuyi have contributed immensely to the development of the media landscape in Kwara State, playing pivotal roles in the dissemination of information and enhancing the quality of journalism and broadcasting. 

Their contributions, the statement noted, helped shape public discourse, educate the populace, and foster transparency in governance.

The council expressed its readiness to maintain a close relationship with the retirees in the media industry, pointing out that their wealth of experience remains invaluable in mentoring and nurturing the next generation of journalists and media professionals in Kwara State.

"With the avalanche of your experience, we are confident that the state government under the leadership of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq would call upon veteran journalists under the umbrella of the Nigeria League of Veteran Journalists in Kwara State to serve in advisory roles or other areas where their knowledge and experience would be required to advance the course of the state", the NUJ added.

The union wished Alhaji Abdulganiyu Atere and Hajia Muibat Adedayo Adewuyi a fulfiling and restful retirement, while encouraging them to remain active in the media community and always be ready to offer their services whenever the need arises.
