Delta State governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has advised social and online media practitioners to adhere strictly to the principles of fairness and balance in their publications.
Okowa made the call on Thursday in Lagos at the formal launch of the Online Publishers Association of Nigeria (OPAN).
According to the governor who was represented by the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Patrick Ukah, “As far as I am concerned, if a medium constantly publishes verifiable truth, it is for the good of the society, as long as the principles of fairness and balance are strictly adhered to.
“Let the truth be your watchword at all times. It is only truth that can stand the test of time and make those who disagree with you to earn your respect”.
