‘’ZEC passed a vote of implicit confidence on the National President of NUJ comrade Chris Isiguzo for his focused, robust, result-oriented and exemplary leadership which has not only repositioned the union but restored its dignity and integrity as a credible watchdog of the society’’.

The zonal Executive through the Communiqué thanked Ebonyi State Government and Ebonyi the State council of NUJ for hosting the meeting and called on other states to emulate them. they also expressed gratitude to President Mohammadu Buhari  for approving ten Billion Naira for the rehabilitation of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu and urged the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika to expedite action on the rehabilitation project for early completion and reopening of the airport for recontinuation of flight operation to save thousands users the harming experience they are currently    experiencing as a result of the closing of the airport and its negative impact on the southeast economy.
