President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called on media professionals to continue playing a vital role in strengthening Nigeria’s democracy.
The President’s message was delivered during the 32nd Nigeria Media Merit Award (NMMA) ceremony held at the Muson Centre, Lagos.
Represented by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Muhammed Idris Malagi, President Tinubu highlighted the importance of his administration’s ongoing reforms, emphasising their potential to drive national growth and development.
“Our policies are deliberate and well thought out. You will agree with me that Nigeria’s Tax administration is long overdue, and we must work on a new tax policy that will lead Nigeria to prosperity,” the president stated.
The event was hosted by Dr. Dayo Duyile, Chairman of the NMMA Board of Trustees, who warmly welcomed guests and nominees.
In his remarks, Dr. Duyile celebrated the annual gathering of journalists from across the print and electronic media.
“This is the 32nd anniversary of NMMA, and we hope to move from one state to another to celebrate this event,” he said.
