…As NGE Urges Journalists to Uphold Ethics, Ensure Quality Content

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged politicians and public office holders not to gag the media, saying press freedom was important in a democracy.

He made the appeal on Thursday at a workshop organised by the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), themed:

“Journalist and Digitalisation: the imperative of Good Corporate Governance” at Ikeja, Lagos State.

Sanwo-Olu, who was the Special Guest of Honour to declare the workshop open, said ensuring good corporate governance and self-regulation of the digital space would completely eradicate false and fake news.
