MURIC Condoles NUJ

MURIC Condoles NUJ, African Examiner

Over Femi Kehinde’s Death

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has

commiserated with the management and staff of

the African Examiner, a front line Online News

medium, the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ)

and the Guild of Editors, on the demise last

Thursday, of African Examiner’s Managing

Editor, Mr. Femi Kehinde.

MURIC in a release issued Monday by its

Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, described

Kehinde’s death as a great loss, particularly at a

time when a silent revolution was raging and

seasoned journalists were needed to contribute

their wealth of experience to the re-engineering

of the Nigerian mindset.

While noting the late resourceful journalist died

when Nigeria needed him most, the group called

on the new regime of President Muhammadu

Buhari to give priority to a speedy completion of

the overhauling and expansion work on Lagos-

Ibadan expressway.

“This road which is notorious for traffic

congestion due to its deteriorating state has

claimed the lives of hundreds of Nigerians.

“We denounce the lackadaisical attitude of past

regimes to road maintenance and charge Buhari

to expedite action on the road in order to

drastically reduce waste of lives” MURIC

directed.

MURIC prayed Allah to spread his comforting

umbrella over the heads of members of the

deceased family, his colleagues in the African

Examiner, the entire members of the NUJ and

the Guild of Editors.
