Managing Director and Editor-in-Chief, The Guardian, Martins Oloja, has said the nation’s economy is too weak to support press freedom.

Executive Director, International Centre for Investigative Reporting , Dayo Aiyetan ; Professor of Mass Communication, University of Lagos, Abigail Ogwezzy-Ndisike; Editor-in-Chief/Managing Director, The Guardian, Martins Oloja; Managing Director, Daily Trust, Stella Iyaji; Executive Director, Media Rights Agenda, Edaetan Ojo and Editor-in-Chief, Premium Times, Mojeed Musikilu during the Media Dialogue themed, ‘Role of the Media in Promoting Public Accountability’, held in Abuja…yesterday.

Calling for support from the private sector, Oloja warned that if media managers continue to depend on wicked and criminal leaders that brought down Nigeria for capitalisation, situation could worsen. “If Nigeria’s economy remains like this, we are going nowhere because we don’t have good capitalisation to support robust investigative journalism. Most of the proprietors do not have money; they depend on the system for survival. So, we end up giving awards to the people we are supposed to be holding accountable.
