By Aliyu M. Dangida
HOTPEN – The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado called on Nigerian Guild of Editors to engage in constant watch of quacks and avoid the publication of unverified stories.
The monarch dropped the hint while addressing the town hall meeting/workshop organized by the Nigeria Guild of Editors with the support of the US Embassy in Nigeria held at Tahir Guest Palace, Kano.
Aminu Bayero who described himself as part of the media community in Nigeria, said “I graduated from the Department of Mass Communication, Bayero University, I’m highly delighted for the leadership of the Guild to have chosen Kano for this meeting”.
He described the meeting timely especially as the 2023 general elections is around the corner, stressed that organising regular town hall meetings like this will in one way or the other assist Editors to perform better and strengthen the nation’s democratic governance.
