The Editor-in-Chief of PREMIUM TIMES, Musikilu Mojeed, has urged Nigerian journalists to adopt Solution Journalism as a means to check abuse of office by public officials.

He said investigative journalism is not all about the prosecution and jailing of government officials who have enriched themselves with public funds.

”For instance, if there is a state or government organisation in Nigeria that is doing excellently well in agriculture or even budget, we can report it. Solution journalism is a form of investigative journalism. It also focuses not just on what may be working, but how and why it appears to be working, or alternatively, why it may be stumbling.Mr Mojeed who anchored the topic ”Interface of Accountability, Journalism and Good Governance,” said the official duty of a journalist is to hold government officials accountable.

”The media must commit more resources for the training of their reporters on investigative and data journalism.Advertisement
