The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kano State Council, has felicitated with Malam Baba Dantiye over his appointment as the new Commissioner for Information in the state.
The congratulatory letter conveyed to Dantiye was jointly signed by the council Chairman and Secretary, Messrs Abbas Ibrahim and Abba Murtala, respectively, on Saturday in Kano.
According to the council, the appointment of Dantiye is well-deserved in view of his impressive pedigree as a former Editor with Triumph Newspapers, a two-term President of the Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE), a former Director-General Media, a retired Permanent Secretary, and a member of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (mni).
