Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris
The Federal Government has urged journalists and social media influencers to deny bandits and terrorists the publicity they crave.
The Minister of Information and National Reorientation, Mohammed Idris, made the call at the maiden edition of the Arewa Media Summit organised by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Public Enlightenment, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, on Monday in Kano.
“The media has an indispensable role in denying violent extremists the publicity they seek while promoting unity, resilience and hope, Idris said.
He added that democracy thrives when the government remains transparent, citizens participate responsibly, and the media performs its constitutional role with professionalism, fairness and integrity.
