I even told the congress that the Nigerian media have no reason to fear the government, and that \u2014 if anything \u2014 it is the government that is at the mercy of the media. That, too, remains true today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all, this must be one of the very few countries in the world where a section of the media can refuse to recognise popular sovereignty, or how does one describe a situation in which a president who was duly elected by millions of Nigeria is willfully stripped of that title, president, and then cheekily cloaked in the garb of a dictator by playing up his military title?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite that abuse of press freedom, those doing that have continued to practise their profession without hindrance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The information minister further charged IPI Nigeria to take seriously the issues of ethics, credibility, and fake news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, the issue of fake news needs to be taken seriously before it strips the media of its credibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf people can no longer believe what they read, hear or watch on the various media platforms, then we are all in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the issue of ethics, is it part of the ethics of journalism for a media organisation to function like an opposition party, seeing nothing good in the government of the day and only reporting bad news?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last time I checked, the constitutionally-guaranteed role of the media here in Nigeria is that of a watchdog, not an opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has stated that it is an abuse of press freedom for journalists to refer to President Muhammadu Buhari as a major general.
