High Rank Media Chiefs, Others Inducted As Members Of DOPF
Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) on Tuesday November 21, 2023 inducted seven high rank media Chiefs as new members of the forum.
The induction ceremony was held at the Ministry of Information conference hall with seven new members joining the forum as news publishers.
In his opening remarks, DOPF chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Enebeli noted that the forum has a rich history of excellence, therefore, it is the collective duty of all members to uphold the ethics of the journalism profession.
While advising the new high rank media Chiefs to always carry themselves as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of their different organisations, Mr Enebeli pleaded that members should continue to uphold the ethics of journalism profession and pursue one aim as enterprenuers.
Speaking, the Vice chairman, Deacon Chukwudi Abiandu, said that DOPF is not an affiliate of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), neither it’s a chapel of the NUJ, but a forum of entrepreneurs in the business of online newspaper publishing.
“We are employers of labour, we are autonomous. Our operation is backed up by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended”.
Among the high rank media Chiefs Inducted are, Mr Julius Oweh, publisher of The Pond News, who was a former title Editor of the state owned media organization, The Pointer, Mr Smart Jikeme, publisher of Fidelity Reporters, also a former title Editor of Pointer, Mr. Austin Ogwuda, publisher of The Town Hall, and one-time veteran Vanguard’s correspondent as well as Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, publisher of Pebnews who is a media Adviser to former Niger Delta freedom fighters, Chief Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo).
Others are Mr. Daniel Oji, publisher of Actual News, Mr. Celestine Ukah, publisher of Area News, and Mrs. Christy Aboghe, publisher of The Hill Nigeria.
As part of strategies to boost media business of the publishers, two financial institutions, Bank of Industry (BoI) and Premium Trust Bank were invited to talk to members on how raise funds to grow the publishing outfits.
Representatives of both banks were present at the induction ground where they delivered lectures on possibilities and eligibility criteria to raise funds through loans to boost either their publishing business or other ventures they deem necessary.
