For more than twenty years, he has stood as the cornerstone of our union, imprinting a legacy of excellence and advancement.
His tenure has been characterised by unwavering commitment and concrete accomplishments that have reshaped the trajectory of our union.
Throughout his tenure, Chief Leman’s leadership has steered us through trials and victories, consistently prioritising the welfare of journalists.
Under his guidance, our union has fortified its stance, advocating fervently for the rights and well-being of journalists nationwide.
Chief Leman’s dedication extends beyond his official capacity; he personifies service and altruism.
