Nasarawa To Domesticate Freedom Of Information Act

Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism in Nasarawa State, Mr Dogo Shammah, says the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) will be domesticated in the state.
Shammah who is the immediate past Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in the state, gave the assurance in Lafia yesterday during a meeting with members of the Correspondents’ Chapel of the NUJ.
According to the commissioner, the era of denying journalists access to information in the state is over.
He said that as a professional journalist, he was aware of the difficulties journalists encounter in the cause of discharging their duties.
“This government will operate an open door policy and will ensure journalists get information from all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
“This will ease the work of the journalists and also ensure that the activities of government is properly reported to the outside world,” he said.
Shammah said that he would seek approval of the governor to carry out sensitisation of all MDAs to ensure that they all key into the plan.
The commissioner appealed to media practitioners to get across to him when facing difficulty in accessing information from MDAs before going to the press.
