THE UCJ

The UCJ is an abbreviation for the Union of Campus Journalists. It is fashioned after the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), an umbrella body made up of pen-pushing professionals. The NUJ comprises of men and women in the print and electronic media, private and public owned. Like the NUJ, the UCJ caters for the interest of amateur or student journalists, festers their nests and promotes the intellectual spirit of dialecticism.     The organization is made up of press clubs in all the halls of residence, including Alexander Brown Hall (UCH) in the University of Ibadan; all the departmental, faculty and independent press clubs jointly owned or controlled by a group of students. At present, the UCJ has more than seventy member-clubs and a conservative number of over five hundred members. The organisation is managed by an eight-man executive committee, with the president at the helm of affairs. There is a congress of all member-clubs and pressmen on campus, which is the most potent force as far as decision-making is concerned.     The UCJ has a suite in the Students’ Union Building where it runs its secretarial/administrative activities. There is also a large press board by the entrance of the Union Building by which the Union coordinates its reportorial activities and reaches out to the general campus public.     The UCJ is a member of the University’s Press Council, which, incidentally, has been moribund for some time. The UCJ president is a member of the council, which is made up of the Dean of Students, the Deputy Registrar (students), the University PRO and a number of principal officers of the institution.
