Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said media men and women are not just important to the actualization of the fruits of democracy, but they have to be accepted by any responsible government.
He revealed this yesterday as he spoke to newsmen during his tour of some government agencies in Alausa, Lagos.
He urged the media to work with him in Lagos for the betterment of the state.
His words, “Due to the critical role of media in reportage of government activities to people, and the importance of communication, which is a two-way thing; any government without the media is on a journey to nowhere.”
“Let me implore you to continue to work with us, with the highest level of professionalism, joining hands with us to serve Lagosians better.
“Communication is key, and getting the right reports to the people is also vital.
“Without this, the entire purpose of all the good works we are doing would have been defeated.
“As I said earlier, any government that does not work closely with the media would have succeeded in embarking on a journey to nowhere.”
