VICE PRESIDENT SHETTIMA CALLS FOR STRONGER COLLABORATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA                                                                                           30-10-24

By Sadiq Aminu                                                               Vice President Kashim Shettima has called for stronger collaboration between government and the media in carrying out their shared responsibility for Nigeria’s national development journey.

Describing media leaders as the crème de la crème and conscience of the nation, he made a strong case for a balanced partnership to drive national unity and economic growth.

Speaking when the leadership of the Nigerian Guild of Editors paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Vice President pledged government’s support to ensure the sustainability of the fourth estate of the realm.

According to a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to The President on Media & Communications, Office of The Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, Senator Shettima acknowledged the economic challenges confronting the media, pledging the government’s support to sustain quality journalism.

Insisting on balance and objectivity in their reportage, VP Shettima urged the editors to maintain their role of a watchdog, while supporting national development.

Responding, President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors and Editor of Vanguard Newspaper, Eze Anaba, lauded the Vice President’s commitment to transparent governance, particularly in explaining government’s economic policies as Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC).

He further emphasised the media’s readiness to partner with the government, while maintaining its independence.

The NGE President also announced that the 20th Edition of the All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) is scheduled for November 7 to 9 in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
