Abuja: The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nantawe Yilwatda, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is working tirelessly to improve Nigeria’s economy, emphasising that his administration remains focused on implementing reforms aimed at stabilising growth and delivering prosperity to citizens.
Yilwatda stated this at the 21st All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) in Abuja on Thursday.
The two-day conference, declared open by the president on Wednesday, has “Democratic Governance and National Cohesion: The Role of Editors” as its theme.
Yilwatda, while commending the media for being the conscience of the society, urged practitioners not to relent in changing the narratives in the overall interest of the country.
He noted that the constructive criticisms of the President Bola Tinubu administration by the media had helped in improving the quality of governance being offered by the administration.
He recalled that virtually all the issues raised during his recent meeting with the APC governors in Kebbi were picked from the media.
He expressed appreciation to media practitioners for their help in supporting the present administration since its inauguration in 2023.
“Criticisms are big tools for improving the quality of governance,” the APC national chairman said, stressing that they are also partners in community development.
He emphasised the importance of continued partnership between the government and the media to promote good governance and the overall well-being of citizens.
He said, “The media should not be tired of calling the attention of the government to what it should do at any point in time, and should not be done, as they are the conscience of society.
