The Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ) Lagos State Council has commiserated with the family and friends of Pa Raji Suraju, who died in the early hours of yesterday.

Until his death, Pa Suraju was a hardworking man with vast experience in the media profession.

He covered the Lagos State House of Assembly as a journalist and he was also a crime reporter.

Late Suraju was a committed member of Lagos NUJ.

He was always regular at our monthly congress where he brought his wealth of experience to bear.

He was a versatile writer, an author and a man of many parts.

He will be greatly missed by members of NUJ Lagos State Council.

May God grant him eternal rest, and console the family and friends he left behind.

Adieu Pa Suraju.
