Boosting smarter journalism in Delta’s Pointer Newspaper vanguardnews
Does Okowa read The Pointer Newspaper? I once saw a picture of the governor, holding a copy of the Delta state-owned paper. With both hands spread on the tabloid, he sat raptly, his bright eyes hooked in frozen attentiveness on the publication.El Rufai in tears: Innuendos, prayer points at birthday bash enough to propel him into 2023 action
Well, most political personages snub media content. The reason is simple. Journalists speak truth to power. Bitter truth. Immediately inside the newspaper house, a new awakening surged. The place had been reworked with significant changes. At the centre of the building stood a compact structure, non-existent less than a year ago. A glass door led forward to a pleasant sight. An expansive newsroom facility decorated to ultra-modern class. Most of the information devices required in a standard newsroom were there, complimented by a cosy ambience.
Governor Okowa is educated. He is a medical doctor. A book worm. He may have resolved to pay heed to The Pointer because knowledge fascinates him. The pioneering status of The Observer inherited by the Edo state government after the split of Bendel in 1991 remains unassailable. Those who championed post-colonial journalism, beginning from the eve of Nigeria’s independence, worked in The Observer in Benin – city, established in 1968.
