“We will always make sure our members are healthy,” said Comrade Grace Ike, NUJ FCT Chairman. “They go out to the field every time and most times they barely have time to check on themselves.” The event was attended by a team of specialists from Nizamiye Hospital, including a general surgeon, internist, cardiologist, nephrologist, ophthalmologist, and general practitioners

The medical checks revealed a high prevalence of elevated blood pressure and sugar levels among the journalists. “From what we have seen so far, there are journalists with blood pressure and blood sugar problems,” said Dr. Nurullo Sadokov, Deputy Medical Director of Nizamiye Hospital.

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, praised the NUJ FCT and Nizamiye Hospital for their thoughtful move to care for journalists’ health. “This effort will improve the well-being and productivity of journalists in Abuja and help them stay focused on their job,” said Surgeon Commodore Momoh Jimoh Salihu, representing the CDS.
