Peter Afunanya, public relations officer of the Department of State Services (DSS) has urged journalists to consider Nigeria’s peculiarities in terms of ethnic and religious diversity in news reportage.

Afunanya made the call while presenting a paper titled: “Fake News and National Security” at a one-day seminar,  organised by the DSS and National Union of Journalists (NUJ).

He said: “We believe that in discharging its responsibility, the media must also take into account, the peculiarity of the country in terms of ethnic and religious diversities,” 

“The media must be responsible users of the pen and agenda setting such that the agenda we set must be one that can promote unity, cohesion, and peaceful co-existence.

“When you use your pen to twist facts to suit your emotional and selfish interest and make people of different nationalities fight each other, you are not achieving what the constitution has demanded of you.”
