ABUJA — Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Benjamin Kalu, has called on Nigerian journalists to embrace balanced reporting by highlighting the country’s achievements while continuing to hold government accountable.
Speaking on Thursday during the inauguration of the newly elected executive of the House of Representatives Press Corps at the National Assembly, Kalu said the media plays a vital role in shaping public perception and strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.
He encouraged journalists to report not only the nation’s challenges but also its progress and opportunities.
Kalu said balanced journalism should reflect both areas requiring improvement and efforts being made to address them.
