THE NATIONAL UNION of journalists has written to the Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland to protest against the “tone and content” of a speech given by a Nigerian state governor at a recent awards ceremony.
The Irish NUJ secretary, Séamus Dooley, received an award two weeks ago at the Metro Éireann awards, and during his speech commented on the recent Nigerian laws regarding homosexuality.
