Senate President Ahmad Lawan has challenged the Nigerian media as agenda setter, to provide positive context that would engender progressive assured future for the Nigerians. Lawan made the call while was speaking at the 10th Anniversary and 2020 Impact Series Awards of Blueprint Newspapers in Abuja.
Lawan noted that the role of the media, being critical stakeholder in the Nigerian project, was crucial in averting national crises and anarchy.
He said its positive actions could douse tension across the country and ultimately stabilize the polity.
Lawan, who was Chairman at the event said efforts must be made by the media to provide proper context to issues, as doing so would in turn ensure national unity and reshape public opinion.
