Media
THE President General of the Arewa Youth ConsultatIve Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Yerima Shettima on Friday said that, for any society to develop, the role of the media was key.
Alhaji Shettima stated this while responding to the leadership of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Kaduna State Council that paid him a courtesy visit.
He said that the media had the power to make or mar any society, stressing that himself being a product of struggle for the survival of democracy in Nigeria had enjoyed media support.
While commending the chapel for finding him worthy of the visit, the president stated that Nigeria may not be where it ought to be now but would get there some day with the support of the media.
Shettima called on all and sundry to give maximum support towards ensuring that the leaders are held accountable in the provision of good governance.
“We stand for equity and justice for Nigerians, we must always demand for a country where no citizen is treated as a nobody, we are all equal as citizens.
“Much is expected from President Bola Ahmed because Nigerians are passing through difficult times and Nigerians might take to the streets to demand a better living condition.
” On my part, I will continue to partner and support the media in any way possible for them to discharge their duties efficiently and effectively,”he said.
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of the chapel, Abdulgafar Alabelew, said, they had identified the youth leader as a supporter of Journalism and thought it necessary to come and appreciate him.
” We are here to thank you for your support to our members and to further reiterate our resolve to continue to partner with you and your organization.
“We are indeed grateful for your unrelenting magnanimity towards our members and the chapel,” he said.
Also available to receive the leadership of the chapel was a board member of AYCF and Chairman of the Arewa Stakeholders Consultative Forum (ASCF), Mr Paul Danjuma.(NAN)
