I ALSO WANT TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RESTATE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT TO THE DIGITAL SWITCH OVER (PROJECT), AS THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION IS WORKING ASSIDUOUSLY FOR A DSO BLUEPRINT THAT WILL NOT FAIL; THAT WILL ROLL OUT ACROSS URBAN AND RURAL NIGERIA. THE NTA, AS A KEY STAKEHOLDER IN THE DSO PROJECT, IS EXPECTED TO PLAY A PROMINENT ROLE
OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND ADAPTABILITY IS PARAMOUNT. THE NTA MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, EMBRACING INNOVATION WHILE UPHOLDING THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY.
THIS RETREAT IS COMING AT A TIME WHEN THERE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF OPTIONS FOR THE VIEWING PUBLIC TO SOURCE INFORMATION FROM, MORE ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE DOMINANT ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE PREPONDERANCE OF FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION THEREIN; THEREFORE, THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AN EVENT OF THIS NATURE CAN NOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED
“BEHOOVES THE NTA TO CONTINUE TO ENLIGHTEN NIGERIANS ON THE SUCCESSES BEING RECORDED ON ALL FRONTS AND TO ENSURE THAT NIGERIANS UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE POLICY DIRECTION OF THE TINUBU ADMINISTRATION IN NEWS AND PROGRAMMING.
