Eminent Nigerians caution government against actions capable of impeding effective performance of the media

Eminent Nigerians  caution government against actions capable of impeding effective performance of the media

Eminent Nigerians, including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State have cautioned governments at all levels and their agencies against actions or decisions capable of impeding effective performance of the media.

Fayose and Atiku gave the advice in their reactions to the arrest and detention of a reporter with Premium Times, Mr. Samuel Ogundipe by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Others that condemned the action include the International Press Centre (IPC) and the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ).

According to them, paying lip service to the principle of press freedom through continuous clamp down on media organizations or the practitioners who serve as watchdogs of the society, is dangerous to the development of any democratic nation as it threatens achievement of free, peaceful and credible election in 2019.
