He did that so that I will fully concentrate on my program here in ado ekiti ,Stephen is a totally God sent husband to me. I appreciate him for always watching my back”. Mrs Agbaje declared.
Dr Agbaje therefore tasked journalists especially women on self development especially in the area of academics in order to lay hands on various opportunities across the world.
Agbaje stated that various opportunities are numerous in the profession which could be benefited and achieved through higher qualification. She specifically tasked women journalist not to lay back at equipping themselves with the right educational qualification to remain vibrant and relevant in the profession.
“I want to say our women should develop themselves academically ,we should not turn ourselves to object of pity , that they should pity us, if men can do it, we can do it with the right qualification and commitment.
“Despite all challenges, women should not be tired ,we can do it, there is nothing that can stop us to get anywhere just as men are doing it , women should develop themselves educationally to be able to compete favourably with the men counterpart.
“Journalists all over should emulate what I have done ,development is crucial in the profession, when you further your education, it gives you so many opportunities and you will not be limited.”
