The Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, FCT Council, Grace Ike, has urged the Nigerian government, institutions and media to help dismantle barriers hindering women’s progress as the world marks International Women’s Day 2026.
She disclosed this in her IWD message on Sunday.
Speaking on this year’s IWD theme, ‘Give To Gain,’ she said it is a reminder of the intentionality in investing in women.
Ike, who is the first female chairman of the council, stressed that words should be translated into action in mentorship of young female journalists across Nigeria and indeed the globe.
“Governments, institutions, media organizations, and communities must work together to dismantle barriers that hinder women’s progress.
“On this special day, I celebrate the extraordinary women within the Nigerian Union of Journalists, the FCT media community, and across our nation,” she stated.
