The statement read, “The NUJ FCT Council received the news of the sudden demise of former Secretary Mrs. Rafat Salami with great disbelief and sorrow today, December 20, 2024.”

“She was regarded as a friend and mother figure to all.”

“Her unwavering dedication and commitment to the Union greatly contributed to the advancement of the profession during her time as Secretary. Rafat was a peace-loving, approachable individual who remained a steadfast member of our community.”

“She was not only a distinguished leader but also a treasured friend to many within the profession. Her commitment to professionalism and excellence will be fondly remembered.”

The council extends its heartfelt condolences to her immediate family, the NUJ Voice of Nigeria (VON) Chapel, the NUJ, and the entire management of VON during this difficult time.

Rafat held the position of Assistant Director of Digital Media at Voice of Nigeria (VON). She was also a former Assistant Secretary for the International Press Institute (IPI) Nigeria and was re-elected as the Institute’s Treasurer just last week.
