FAYOSE to Journalist: You have freedom of press

Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, on Thursday asked journalists practicing in the state to  criticize his government without fear or favour. He spoke in Ado-Ekiti through his Special Assistant on Information, Mr. Lanre Ogunsuyi, on the election day of new officers of the State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists. The governor, however, asked that his government be criticized “constructively” rather than “destructively,” adding that he was aware of the enormous roles played across the world by journalists and would not do anything to undermine such roles. He promised that his government would provide the enabling environment for journalism and journalists to thrive in the state despite the current challenges facing the new administration.
