Former Imo Attorney general and well-respected opinion moulder across the country, Professor Francis Dike , SAN, has called on media practitioners to continue in their surveillance and correlative efforts for betterment of society.

Professor Dike made the call while interacting with the Publisher of 4th Estate Reporters Mr. MacDonald Obinna Njoku, Publisher of Sahara Reporters Mr. Sowore Omoleye alongside Imo based Activist and Publisher of Community Watchdog Mr. Precious Nwadike at his Owerri residence recently.

He charged them to analyze and sensitize society on issues of national importance for people to make informed decisions for the development of the country.

The elder statesman and legal luminary stressed that the media has the constitutional mandate of advancing a peaceful, just and inclusive society.

Professor Dike commended the three social crusaders for being emerging voices in the advocacy for social justice while saluting their resilience for blending activism with journalism adding that media profession is a fulcrum for keeping government and its officials accountable to the people.

He said that to whom much is given, much is as well expected.

In reply, the trio media gurus who expressed happiness over his keen observation of the goings on around him and society at large promised that they would continue to bridge the gap between the governed and the government to make sure that the yearnings, aspirations, desires of the populace are realized.

They called on the people to work and cooperate with journalists across the country by sharing their views and expectations from the government as they are fully ready to set the agenda as the watchdog of society and fourth estate of the realm.
