 Stakeholders in the media industry say it is important for journalists to give quality and effective reportage. This was made known during a media roundtable discourse on the upcoming November 11 gubernatorial poll in Biosa, organized by the International Press Center IPC and the Center for Media and Society, CIMESO in Yanagua with about 65 participants, resource persons, representatives of the Independent National Electric Commission, INEC, including the Biosa State Police Command. The program is supported by the European Union under Component 4, support to the media and democratic governance in Nigeria. The main motive behind this was to ensure that the reporting by Biosa journalists will contribute to the delivery of credible elections. Information plays a vital role in any electoral process. The interaction that we just participated in brought together journalists and representatives of other stakeholder institutions such as the police, such as the election management body that is INEC. The journalist needs to know how the situational awareness of his environment, most especially the areas he is supposed to cover on election day. This is very important because you will be able to know the exit routes in case of any challenge arising from the activities therein and also identify with the policemen that are on duty because they will be the one to give you that first bouffer and perhaps guide you to safety. They have learnt a lot from the interaction and also learnt from me on what we are doing as far as the commission is concerned so that at every given point in time as information comes out, we will be on the same page and so that at the long run the electorate and other stakeholders will get the right information. Participants who are thankful to the organizers, urged journalists to be professional in carrying out their duties. We should report accordingly. We must embrace the ethics in our profession. Let us not be carried away by pecuniary gains where we will report space on inducements. I expect us to live above that. It's interactions like these that make you get to know that you don't really know it or you learn new things on how to cover elections. Like you heard what the police said about safety tips on how journalists should dress while going out to cover elections and some of the things they need to do. And also from the side of INEC, more things that journalists can get to inform the public about. So it's a good one and we expect more trainings like this for journalists.
