President of the Senate, π’πžπ§πšπ­π¨π« 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐰𝐒π₯π₯ π€π€π©πšπ›π’π¨ has advised journalists to take proper care of their health needs while pursuing their reportorial duties.

Akpabio gave the advice Tuesday when he paid a condolence visit on the Senate Press Corps following the death of their member, 𝐀π₯𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐒 π“π’π£πšπ§π’ π€ππžπ²πžπ¦π’ of Tribune Newspapers who died last week.

Recall that another member of the Corps, Hon. Henry Umoru of Vanguard Newspaper’s had also lost his wife and mother two weeks ago.

Represented by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, 𝐇𝐨𝐧. π„π¬πžπ¦πž 𝐄𝐲𝐒𝐛𝐨𝐑, the Senate President said journalists must take the popular maxim “health is wealth”, very important and avoid relegating matters relating to their health to the background.

He said “Health, they say is wealth” and I urge you to take this very important. I understand the stress and struggles to break the news, but you must be conscious of your health needs at every point in time.

“To me, I would prefer to be celebrating you in good health rather than coming here to pay condolence. So, do not wait to be down before you seek medical attention but always endeavour to go for check up to avoid any deterioration in your health condition”, he counselled.

He offered to collaborate with the Press Corps to enhance the health needs that would give journalists access to routine medical checks and healthcare culture.”I want a situation where we could have an understanding, where you can walk individually or as a group once in a while to have a facility for medical checks”, he proposed.

Responding on behalf of the press Corps, the Vice Chairman, Mr. Sanni Onogu thanked the Senate President for his care and show of concern; and for paying condolence visits on the family of Henry Umoru and late Tijani Adeyemi.

Onogu also appreciated Akpabio for providing the Corps with a new Press Centre and appealed to him to continue to assist them to do their job better.
