The Sha’aya’u S-Pawa Foundation, a political group in Zamfara state, says arrangements are in top gear to give an award of ‘Resilient Journalist’ to Mr. Eyo Charles, the Media Trust representative, assaulted by a former Aviation minister in line of duty.
News Agency of Nigeria reports that Charles was the journalist that was verbally assaulted by a former Minister of Aviation, Mr. Femi Fani -Kayode in Calabar, Cross River at a media conference.He has however since tendered a public apology for the verbal attack.
“The good journalist posture displayed by Charles gives more hope and belief to Nigerians that we still have good media professionals in the country. “As Nigerians, we strongly believe that if the former minister is truly the activist he claims, he should come out in the public domain and answer the question asked by Charles,” the group said.
According to the group, we will organise a befitting ceremony to give this award very soon after we reach out to Charles.
