Tinubu promises to uphold press freedom, welcomes criticism

President Bola Tinubu has promised that his administration would continue to uphold the freedom of the Nigerian media.

The President who made the pledge in Abuja on Monday when members of Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN), paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, assured that he would respect divergent opinions, whether they were complementary of his government or negative views.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu reiterated that said his administration would remain steadfast in reinvigorating, retooling and re-engineering the economy as witnessed by the bold decisions his administration took to end petrol subsidy regime and initiate ongoing unification of foreign exchange rates.
