“I must also commend the government of Imo State for their support and hospitality in hosting the members and delegates of the NUJ, contributing to the success of the election,” said Idris.


The Minister further called on both the IPI and NUJ to continue promoting ethical and responsible journalism. “As defenders of truth, the media must prioritize integrity and accountability in their work. I encourage both unions to ensure that their members uphold the highest standards of journalism for the betterment of our democracy.”


Minister Idris also pledged that the government remains fully committed to upholding press freedom. “We will continue to protect the fundamental rights of the press, ensuring a conducive environment for free, fair, and responsible journalism to thrive in Nigeria.”
