President Muhammadu Buhari has restated the Federal Government’s commitment to freedom of the press.
President Buhari pledged in a statement by his media aide Femi Adesina to mark World Press Freedom Day, to continue ensuring the protection of the rights and privileges of journalists.
He urged media practitioners to reflect on the need to embrace the best professional standards and practices, especially in the build-up to the 2023 General Election.
He noted that the free performance of media roles and responsibilities during the electoral process is as important as the sanctity and will of Nigerians, expressed through the ballot box.
