President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday hosted members of the State House Correspondents to an anniversary lunch with a challenge for journalists to always conduct research on crime-related issues before publishing.
The President said the call had become imperative in order to ensure accurate and factual reportage of such issues.
Buhari made reference to the ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to recover Nigeria’s stolen funds. He said only investigative reporting of the events would enable the public to understand and appreciate the implications of such criminal acts.
“How do you define change? Luckily, our party identified three major items, security, economy and corruption. “So, please when next you want to interrogate out visitors try and do some research so that when they are coming next time, they will do research themselves’’, he said.
