The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
has urged journalists how to behave with the news when Nigeria is at
war, saying that Nigeria army has met the deadline on Boko Haram.
Lai Mohammed was speaking in Lagos on Wednesday, December 23, during the interactive session with newsmen.
He said: “Yes, you must remain professional at all times, and we are not asking you to do anything less, but you must also act in the national interest always.
”Acting in the national interest means not playing up the reports of the cowardly Boko Haram attacks on soft targets. Acting in the national interest means not regurgitating the propaganda of Boko Haram and its fellow terrorist group, ISIS. Acting in the national interest means extolling the bravery and sacrifice of our gallant troops. Acting in the national interest means not viewing the war from a partisan prism. Acting in the national interest means rallying all Nigerians, irrespective of their political, religious or ethnicbackground, to support the war.’‘
