The new Minister of Information, Alhaji Mohammed Idris Malagi has called on media practitioners in the country to collaborate with his ministry and the government for the betterment of society, reports ITREALMS.
The Minister enjoined online publishers to always endeavour to cross-check information before publishing.
He also urged journalists to take pride in the fact that they have their representative as part of government.
The minister equally said the president appointed "one of us and the interest of the media is my interest" and called on the media to take interest in his affairs as well.
According to the Minister, practitioners should endeavour to partner with government for the collective good of all.
He further said that professionals should focus on the positive things happening across Nigeria.
In his view, there are many positive things happening in Nigeria that are largely unreported.
The minister thanked the exco members for the meeting even as he recalled that he has been a keen, silent follower of GOCOP activities for years.
Speaking earlier, the GOCOP President, Maureen Chigbo, congratulated the Minister on his appointment.
She used the opportunity to inform the Minister that GOCOP will be holding its 7th Annual Conference in Abuja on 5th October 2023 at the Abuja Continental Hotel, and urged him to be a key partner.
GOCOP delegation at the meeting included Mr Dotun Oladipo, immediate past president, Danlami Nmodu, mni, Deputy President, Ken Ugbechie, Vice President (South), Tom Chiahemen, Vice President (North), Collins Edomaruse, General Secretary and Tajudeen Kareem, Abuja-based GOCOP member.
