Comrade Charles Ojefia on Friday, August 19, 2022, emerged as the new chairman of Information Field Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists ( NUJ), Delta State Council.

Ojefia polled 17 votes out of a total of 32 votes cast by accredited members of the Chapel to defeat his only challenger, Comrade Ebiseri Goldpin, who scored 15 votes.

Other contestants for the remaining six positions were returned unopposed at the election which was held at the Ughelli Field Office of the state Ministry of Information.

The state Vice Chairman of Delta NUJ, Comrade Ogono, who stood in for the state chairman, Comrade Michael Ikeogwu, led the state Assistant Secretary, Comrade Felix Ekwu and the Auditor, Comrade Celestine Afokoba, to conduct the Chapel election.

After the election, oathing taking and inauguration of the Comrade Ojefia-led executive, Comrade Ogono commended the Information Field Chapel of the union in the state for conducting a free and credible election in the chapel.
