<p>A veteran journalist, Malam Nasiru Gwadabe, made observations and said the league should be addressed as the Forum of Media Stakeholders, not the League of Veterans, because it involves all sections of journalists.</p>
<p>On her part, a retired staff of the State Ministry of Information and a veteran journalist, Maryam Yerima Muhammad, said the proposed funding of the association as provided in the draft charter is very serious.</p>
<p>She said most of the veterans are retired. How can a veteran contribute with the little pension he acquires monthly from retirement?</p>
<p>She called for subvention to be given to the league to operate.</p>
<p>A media scholar, Dr. Hassan Alhaji Yau, also proposed the establishment of an interim management committee of the league, in which a veteran with over fifty years’ experience, Malam Ahmad Aminu, was appointed as the chairman.</p>
<p>Closing the gathering, the State Commissioner for Information, Comrade Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, while addressing the press, said the League of Veteran Journalists in Kano will chart a new course for journalism in the state and Nigeria.</p>
<p>Media scholars from Bayero University who graced the occasion are Professor Hajara Umar Sanda, Professor Nura Ibrahim, Professor Hadiza Ibrahim, Malam Mukhtar Magaji, Associate Professor Gwani Ibrahim Siraj Adhama and Professor Hassan Yau.</p>
<p>Some of the veterans that graced the occasion are former President of the NUJ, Comrade Sani Zoro; former Chairman of NUJ Kano Council, Abbas Ibrahim; former Permanent Secretary Abubakar Rimi Television, Faruk Umar Usman; Alhaji Ahmad Aminu; Malam Bala Muhammad; Muhammad Sunusi Jibrin; Abdullahi Malam; Abba Murtala Yankaba; Muhammad Dahiru Sheka; Abdulkadir Kwakwatawa; Ibrahim Ahmad Karaye; Hajiya Aishatu Sule; Prince Ajayi Maimayatan; Ado Saidu Warawa; Bala Nasiru, among others.</p>
<p>Some of the journalists called for a comprehensive media policy in Kano that will guide the revival of the state’s comatose industries, religion, and culture.</p>
<p>The draft charter was adopted as moved by Malam Bala Muhammad of the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University Kano, and was seconded by Malam Abdullahi Malam, a former bureau chief of the News Agency of Nigeria in Kano.</p>
