The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Edo Council, has announced the restriction of visitors to the Press Centre until the ongoing nationwide protest against economic hardship is over.
In a statement on Friday in Benin by Festus Alenkhe and Andy Egbon, the chairperson and secretary of the council, respectively, the union said that the centre would be closed from 6 p.m. until further notice.
“This is to ensure that individuals with ulterior motives do not use the Press Centre as a haven to congregate,” the statement said.
