ECCIMA Tasks Journalists On Enterprise Reporting
Enugu State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA), has urged journalists to emphasis on the spirit of enterprise and innovation of Nigerians rather than recession.
President of ECCIMA, Rev. Ugochukwu Chime, made the call while speaking with newsmen last Thursday, in Enugu.
He said that, although the country was gradually getting out of recession, there was need to project those new enterprising and innovative ideas that Nigerians had come out with to survive the out-going recession.
“We are now having a change in the economic narrative of the country.”
The chamber boss noted that Nigerians had been creative now than ever before, especially finding ways to manage their businesses and homes better.
“Our youths are highly enterprising in the entertainment, creativity and art world thus, fighting their way from the national market to the global stage,’’ he said.
According to Chime, that is the new spirit of Nigeria and Nigerians which people must discuss and journalists must write and promote.
The chamber boss, however, commended the Central Bank of Nigeria for maintaining sound fiscal and monetary policies.
“I must thank Mr President for creating the space and empowerment to fight corruption.
“Also, I am not forgetting vast majority of Nigerians who had joined the anti-corruption crusade of the government to ensure that public funds are no longer used for jamboree.’’ he said.
