The Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Hon. Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, has described the establishment of the Kano Online Media Chapel as timely and highly commendable.
Dungurawa made the remark when he received the executive members of the newly formed chapel at the NNPP State Secretariat when they paid a courtesy visit. He urged members to work as a united team with dedication and commitment, noting that achieving success in any new venture requires hard work and resilience.
“To actualise anything new, you have to work hard because there are always challenges, catastrophic issues, hurdles, obstacles, and other difficulties,” he stated.
The chairman emphasized that online journalism has become increasingly essential in the modern media landscape, where journalism is rapidly evolving. He, however, advised practitioners to uphold professionalism, ethics, and decorum to safeguard the rights and reputations of individuals and groups.
Dungurawa further encouraged the chapel to diversify its sources to ensure sustainability. He assured them of the readiness of both the NNPP-led government and the party to collaborate with online media in disseminating information on government policies, programmes, and activities for the overall development of the state.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Kano Online Media Chapel, Comrade Abubakar Abdulkadir Dangambo, said the visit was to formally introduce the new executive members. He called on politicians to strengthen their working relationship with online media platforms to effectively communicate with the public.
Dangambo stressed that journalism and politics are interdependent components of nation-building but clarified that professional journalists remain guided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and do not engage in bias or political partisanship.
