Nigeria’s Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has called for greater collaboration between the media and government at all levels towards accelerated economic development of the country.
In a statement to mark the 2017 World Press Freedom Day, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki called on media owners, public and private – to enhance the welfare and security of practitioners in the media, he said “There is no doubt that one of the major challenges confronting us as a people is how to grow the economy and provide jobs for our teaming population. I believe the press has a great role to play in accelerating the process through the dissemination of appropriate information and unbiased reportage of government’s economic recovery efforts.
