Media not an enemy – Garba tells Kano Govt to embrace press freedom
Former Commissioner for Information in Kano State and President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Muhammad Garba, has urged the Kano State government to embrace press freedom.
Garba disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.
His comment follows a report by the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ), which ranked Kano among the top three Nigerian states with the most violations of press freedom in 2024.
However, the Kano State government had dismissed the report.
Reacting, Garba said the media is not an enemy of the government but a partner in nation-building.
He condemned the government’s restrictive media directives, including bans on live political programmes and warnings against asking what it termed “provocative questions.”
Garba argued that such policies amount to censorship and undermine democratic governance.
“Freedom of the press is measured not by plaques or ceremonies, but by the ability of journalists to report without fear of reprisal,” he emphasised.
“The media is not an enemy of government; it is a partner in nation-building.
“Respecting press freedom is not only a constitutional obligation but also a mark of mature and responsive leadership,” he stated.

Archbishop Martins: Nigeria’s Security Agencies Lax in Protecting Christians
Archbishop Martins: Nigeria’s Security Agencies Lax in Protecting Christians
Mary Nnah
The Archbishop of the Metropolitan See of Lagos, Most Rev. (Dr.) Alfred Adewale Martins, has slammed Nigeria’s security agencies for being “lax” in protecting Christians from attacks, saying their inaction has led to allegations of genocide.
Speaking at the 35th priestly ordination anniversary of Parish Priest of St. Leo Catholic Church, Ikeja, Very Rev. Fr. Anthony Fadairo, the archbishop expressed concern over the rising number of Christians being killed and displaced in various parts of the country.
“I do not know whether we can talk about genocide or not, but what I know is that we have a situation in which people are being killed, people are being displaced from their homelands, and their homelands are being occupied by those who have no right to be there,” he said.
Martins noted that while not only Christians were affected, the fact that many of those being displaced were Christians had led to allegations of genocide.
“I will not describe what is happening as genocide, but I will describe it as the laxity of government agents and security agencies to deal with the issue at hand,” he said.
The archbishop called on the government and security agencies to disprove allegations of genocide and ensure that those responsible for the attacks are brought to justice.
The archbishop also highlighted the importance of partnership between the church and government in promoting social justice and sustainable development.
“The Catholic Church has always been in the forefront of social development and social justice,” he said. “We are available for partnership with the government at all times.”
Meanwhile, Fr. Fadairo reflected on his 35 years of priesthood, saying it had been a journey of faith and service.
“Every day has been significant,” he said. “Every year there’s one thing or the other. Meeting with people and carrying out specific assignments. So that is the thing. And then facing some challenges. Some assignments are very tough. You wonder at the beginning how it’s going to be, but at the end of it, everything works out very well.”
On the challenges facing Nigeria, Fr. Fadairo urged Nigerians to get closer to God and shun evil.
“Let us get closer to God,” he said. “Let us be more prayerful. Nigeria, there’s hope. That’s what everybody is talking about, the hope for the future. There’s hope. I believe in Nigeria. I believe if everybody does their best, shuns evil, loves their neighbors, the sky is the limit.”
The celebrant also emphasised the importance of collaboration between the church and government in addressing issues such as corruption and economic hardship.
“The church has always spoken about it,” he said. “There’s no time in the life of the church, the church has not spoken about the ills in society. The Nigerian church has been doing the same. And they have been praying, encouraging people to follow the path of God.”
As Fr. Fadairo marked his 35th anniversary, he expressed his gratitude to God and the faithful.
“I thank God for the gift of priesthood,” he said. “I thank God for the people who have supported me along the way. I pray that the church will continue to grow from strength to strength.”

Trump’s threat: Africa didn’t invade America when black man was killed – Soludo
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State says Africa did not invade America when a black man was killed by US police personnel.
Soludo stated this in reaction to United States President Donald Trump’s threat to carry out military action in Nigeria following claims of a Christian genocide.
The governor, who stated this on Sunday, stressed that the security challenges in Nigeria go beyond a conflict between Muslims and Christians, adding that Trump’s threat of military intervention to “protect Christians in Nigeria” distorts the actual issues on the ground.
He emphasized the need for the Nigerian government to engage in a more substantive dialogue to address the concerns raised, noting that all relevant facts should be accurately presented.
Soludo further stated that if Nigeria were to seek foreign assistance, it should be through formal requests for military support, technology, or equipment, not through external threats, rejecting any notion of an invasion and argued that it would be equally absurd for African nations to threaten to invade the United States over incidents of racial violence.
“I am not quite sure if you have policemen killing some blacks. I remember the #BlackLivesMatter protested, and somebody would say maybe Africa should go and invade America because blacks are being killed? I’m not quite sure,” he said.
