CENSORSHIP:F.G ARRANGES NTA TO VISIT AMOSUN

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU 

GOVERNOR AMOSUN IS ONE OF THE PILLARS OF THE PRESENT REGIME OF MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND HE HAS A LOT OF PROJECTS TO HIS CREDIT IN OGUN STATE

In the aftermath of shocking statements credited to Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun state of Nigeria on the possible censorship of the Social media, The Presidency has acted quickly and very wisely by arranging a recent visit of the management of the Nigerian Television Authority [NTA]in the aftermath of protests from the Editorial and Policy  Board of Paedia Express Multimedia Group over the dangers of censorship and wired accordingly to at least 20 global authorities' on human rights .

Checks by The News office in Lagos,Nigeria ,shows that while receiving the NTA team ,Governor Amosun had described the mass media as an essential partner in progress for any successful regime.,a smart  departure from a statement credited to him about the possible censorship of the social media due to severe verbal attacks of the various strata's of governance in NIgeria due to corruption by the general public.

However ,the visit was made to look as if it was an invitation by the state government to the agency to inspect infrastructural projects ,a move which every media agency worth its salt could have performed
