NAN MD Pledges Commitment To Staff Welfare

Mr Buki Ponle, the newly appointed Managing Director of News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) says he is committed to the welfare of the members of staff of the agency.

Ponle said this in his address to the management staff when he assumed office on Tuesday in Abuja. The managing director said he was also committed to the uplift of the agency.

“I am on a mandate here; I have not come to play football. I am on a mandate and it cannot be achieved without your support. “I need your support; I need your prayers; I need your commitment to carry NAN to a greater height than we have and believe with your support we can go beyond the sky.

“You are all hard-working there is no doubt about it. If there is no money or if there is fund paucity, that can be addressed but let’s put our best into it. “Even if I had to forfeit my salary to pay staff welfare, I will do that because I want success.”

He further called for the cooperation of members of staff to build a formidable agency. “I cannot do it alone; please show me that you genuinely belong to the happy, united News Agency of Nigeria that I left.”

“Please work with me, with your hearts and we shall deliver.”
