The Nigerian Guild of Editors, NGE, has expressed concerns over anti-media laws in the country.
This was contained in a statement by the General Secretary of the NGE Iyobosa Uwugiaren, on Sunday in Abuja
Uwugiaren said the union has established a committee to liaise with the National Assembly and the Federal Ministry of Information over the development.
“We are concerned about the negative impact of this plethora of obnoxious laws; some of them were enacted by the colonial government, which today are undermining accountability and transparency at all levels of government.
“Anti-media laws can make it more difficult for journalists to hold those in power accountable, allowing corruption and abuse of power to go unchecked.
“These anti-media laws also have the capacity to restrict the ability of Nigerians to express their opinions and participate in robust public conversation that is capable of undermining the fundamental right to free speech.”
“Concerned about a plethora of obnoxious and anti-media laws in Nigeria’s legal book, the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) has inaugurated a five-man committee to work closely with the office of Minister of Information and National Orientation, National Assembly, the Attorney-General of the Federation/Minister of Justice, and other stakeholders – aimed at starting a process of amending the laws or outrightly repealing them,” the statement added.
