Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi OsinbajoVice President Yemi Osinbajo has blamed the lack of vision, poor state of finances and selfish interests for the decline in the media industry.
Osinbajo, who spoke at the renowned journalist, Kadaria Ahmed’s 50th birthday in Lagos at the weekend, blamed the poor state of media on the inability of players in the industry to visionalise business models to thrive the sector.
According to him, “without the struggles of our finest journalists, we wouldn’t have this democracy today. The Nigerian contemporary press is in battle of confidence today.
“The press has always reminded us of what happened in the past, I don’t think we have any archive on our history and events in a defined platform which is not good enough for us as a nation.”
He, however, lauded the courage of few individuals in journalism who have refused to be bought or trodden down.
He said: “We need a few people who are dedicated to the same course.
