From El-Yakub Dabai, Birnin kebbi
The Special Adviser to Kebbi State Governor on Political and Power, Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant has appealed to Journalists to support the present administration of Gov. Nasir Idris to bring the desired transformation to the state.
He made the plea during a meeting with members of Correspondents Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) held in his office in Birnin Kebbi on Monday.
The Special Adviser said the call became imperative in view of the critical role of Journalists towards the growth and development of any society.
Alhaji Sani-Giant said the essence of the meeting was to further consolidate on the existing cordial relationship between the media and the state government.
“Please we need your support to give this government a good name. We cannot stop you from writing stories but you should balance your stories before publishing them”
“We need to harmonise, consolidate and work together for the good of the state and the nation at large,” he urged
Responding, the Chairman, Correspondents Chapel, Kebbi State Chapter, Alhaji El-Yakub Dabai appreciated the Special Adviser for initiating and organising the meeting.
He explained that the write-up in contention with one of their colleagues which caused a little friction with the Government was accidental, however, noted with satisfaction that the reporter had already apologised and government had accepted the apology.
Dabai promised to work in harmony with the state government, “Please when you see any grey area invite us to clarify such area for better understanding.”
