The Registrar of the University of Ilorin, Mr Mansur Adeleke Alfanla, has advised media practitioners in Nigeria to adhere strctly to the ethics of their profession in the discharge of their duties.
Mr Alfanla gave this advice last Thursday (October 2, 2025) while receiving a delegation of the Radio, Television, Theater and Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU), University of Ilorin Chapter, led by its Chairman, Mr Yinka Soliu Magaji-Nda, in his office.
He emphasised the importance of diligence, discipline, and accuracy in reporting to ensure national security.
Mr Alfanla described RATTAWU as a long-standing union and urged the newly elected Executive Committee of the Union to be good ambassadors of the University and the union.
The Registrar also advised the RATTAWU’s Executive Committee to work collaboratively with the University management while advocating for development, rather than engaging in actions that could lead to chaos or unrest on campus.
As a former union leader, Mr Alfanla urged the Executive Committee members to represent their members well and develop programmes and policies that would enhance the growth of the University.
He expressed appreciation to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, and other Principal Officers for recognising RATTAWU as a union on campus.
The RATTAWU delegation included its Vice Chairman, Mrs Oluyemisi Olayemi; Treasurer, Mrs. Jelilat B. Adedimeji; Secretary, Mr. Nasr Dhikrillah Bolarinwa; Mr Idrees Lukman Kehinde, Mrs. Adekitan Oluwafunmilayo Ekundayo and the Head of Programmes of UNILORIN 89.3FM, Mr Temitope Olawuyi.
