 Inductions are events to intimate Pressmen of the ethics of journalism and standard practises in the profession and that was exactly what Mr Adejumo Kabir did. On taking the mic, he did justice to the topic at hand and once more charged prospective Journalists to take everyone accountable for their actions so as to bring about a saner community.
He quoted George Orwell saying 'Journalism is printing what someone else does not want published; everything else is public relations.'

salient questions asked by Journalists present.

The event ended in pomp as new inductees were issued certificates and a Photo session ensued.
