Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Special Adviser to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State on Strategy, Malam Saad Salaudeen, has tasked Nigerian journalists to hold governments accountable and save the country\u2019s democracy.<\/p>\n

He warned against the danger of fake news and quackery in the journalism profession.<\/p>\n

Salaudeen recalled that journalists, more than any other profession, fought for the independence of Nigeria and the return of democracy in the country in 1999.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalists are integrity personified and represent the face of integrity,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n

He was speaking at a reception in honour of three Kwara State journalists awarded the fellowship of the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations by the national body in Ilorin.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cWe represent the best of Journalists in Nigeria in government, I am happy to inform you that starting from my Oga Mr. Adeyipo, Governor AbdulRahaman AbdulRazaq, is proud of all journalists in Kwara young and old.<\/p>\n

\u201cJournalists have the constitutional mandate not only to hold government accountable but to ensure good governance, rescue Nigeria from destabilisation and ensure that Nigeria retains her pride as a proud giant of Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn human history, the rich don\u2019t make the World. The powerful don\u2019t make the World. Ideas, it is said, rules the World.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best of politicians and statesmen recruit the best of journalists and PR practitioners to make a difference in leadership.<\/p>\n

The Special Adviser urged the younger generation in the journalism practice to build on the foundation of the veterans.<\/p>\n
