Ondo State CPS Continues Support for Children of Deceased Journalists

The Ondo State chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) has once again praised Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the Governor, for his enduring commitment to the welfare of journalists’ families. In its fifth edition, the NAWOJ Education Support Fund, initiated and consistently sustained by Prince Adeniyan, provides vital financial assistance to the children of deceased journalists to help ease the educational burdens they face.

Continued Generosity Amidst Growing Support

Prince Adeniyan’s active role in this philanthropic initiative, which targets the children of journalists who have passed away, underscores his sincere compassion and leadership. Each edition of the fund has seen increasing support, with last year’s third edition benefiting twelve recipients, each receiving N50,000 as academic aid for the second term of the school session . These efforts are part of his broader advocacy for media practitioners and their families, driven by the love and support of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa for the media community .

Endorsements from NAWOJ

The NAWOJ representatives, led by Chairperson Comrade Tola Gbadamosi and Secretary Comrade Oluwatosin Adetuberu Ighoteguono, lauded Prince Adeniyan’s acts of kindness and responsibility. They describe him as “a rare man whose empathy extends far beyond his official duties,” emphasizing that his unwavering support profoundly impacts the lives of the beneficiaries and exemplifies true leadership and humanity . The association also expressed their heartfelt appreciation, praying that his selfless service is richly rewarded by divine blessings.

A Legislative and Social Commitment

This ongoing support comes amidst a series of gestures by Prince Adeniyan aimed at uplifting the media fraternity. Besides educational sponsorships, he has donated N1 million to the Ondo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), supporting infrastructural development such as improving electricity supply at the union’s Press Centre . Such initiatives highlight his dedication to improving conditions for journalists and their families across the state.

Public Impact and Future Outlook

The repeated disbursements demonstrate a deep commitment to social responsibility and community welfare, earning widespread commendation from media organizations and civil society. The support not only alleviates educational expenses but also projects a positive image of empathetic leadership in Ondo State. As Prince Adeniyan continues these acts of charity, it reinforces the essential role of dedicated public service in fostering hope and resilience among underprivileged families within Nigeria’s vibrant media landscape .
