“The press in Zamfara are wonderful people. The way and manner they exhibited professionalism and morale code of ethics in their reportage of Zamfara conflict was not only guided by professional training but a sense of responsibility.
“Throughout the seven (7) months we started the peace and reconciliation, they have never report any event that has not happened. The much talk of sensational journalism was never part of their trade, and the adage that “ Pen is mightier than the sword” does not influence their report of events that actually happened in Zamfara state.
“I must sincerely express my appreciation and urge them to continue the way they operate in a complete constitutionally-guided manner for others to imitate so much that our great country will be crime-free enough for investors”, CP Nagogo observed.
