 The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohamed Idris, has said that the administration of Bolatini Buu is committed to providing an enabling environment for the press to carry out its vital role in the society. Speaking to the State House, correspondents, after meeting with the President, Addie Presidential Villa in Abuja, the minister said this administration has no intention of restricting the press. However, he noted that press freedom also comes with responsibility. Idris emphasized that press freedom should be exercised in a manner that upholds ethical standards and promotes responsible reporting. You know that Mr. President believes in press freedom. He believes in the freedom of expression, and he's not going to gag the press in any way, shape or form. He's going to work assiduously to ensure that the Nigerian press that has been free is even freer. But like I said all the time, this freedom also comes with enormous responsibility. You can't just say what is not right because you say you are enjoying press freedom. There will be freedom, but it starts to be responsible freedom. This is a very delicate line to talk. While government and Mr. President and all of us in that sector are committed to ensuring that there is press freedom, that freedom, like I said, comes with responsibility. A lot of things that some of these people in the social media are doing is also not very patriotic. Sometimes you will say news that is not factual. But I don't want a situation where it will be seen that government is trying to gag the press. I want that to be underscored. There is no attempt by government to gag the press. We're going to do whatever it takes that is responsible that is also accountable. Don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates.
