The National President of the Nigeria Union ofJournalists (NUJ) Chief Chris Isiguzo\u00a0 has decried\u00a0 the level of\u00a0 insecurity in Nigeria\u00a0 even as he added\u00a0 that\u00a0 it\u00a0 was threatening national life and\u00a0 \u00a0unity.<\/p>\n

Similarly the Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Belllo has charged the media to abide by the ethical code of Journalism for\u00a0 unity and progress of the country.<\/p>\n

The duo spoke\u00a0 \u00a0at the weekend during the NUJ Niger state council’s\u00a0 Press week and\u00a0 lecture\u00a0 with the theme: “Media and Insecurity, Niger state in perspective”.<\/p>\n

While decrying the security situation in the country, Chief Isiguzo posited that\u00a0 \u201cthe worsening insecurity we are facing is threatening our national life and unity as a people”.<\/p>\n

Chief Isiguzo\u00a0 \u00a0stressed the need for the media to galvanise support for the fight against insecurity and also assumed the true role of the fourth estate\u00a0 of the realm by holding those in positions\u00a0 of authority accountable to the people.<\/p>

“There is the need for us as journalists to speak against all forms of insecurity and criminality we are facing in Nigeria today. This will prompt the federal government to tackle the menace decisively,\u201d he declared<\/p>\n

Isiguzo advised journalists in the country to report insecurity in such a way that governments at all levels will live up to their responsibilities to tackle\u00a0 it head long instead of worsening the situation.<\/p>\n

According to him \u201cwe must protect Nigeria because we don\u2019t have any other place to call home.You can never be comfortable in a foreign land the way you will be in your own land,\u201d .<\/p>\n

On his part, the Niger state Governor, Alhaji\u00a0 Abubakar Bello represented by the Commissioner for Water Resources, Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, charged\u00a0 journalists to always abide by\u00a0 the ethics of the profession in carrying out their jobs<\/p>\n

He\u00a0 said that the state government was doing everything possible to equip its media organisations to ensure maximum output from journalists operating in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
