NIGERIA: OGUN State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has described the media as an essential partner in progress for any successful administration.

Amosun, who said this on Thursday while receiving the leadership of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) led by its Director-General, Mr. Yakubu Ibn Mohammed, at his Oke-Mosan Office in Abeokuta, further submitted that information is key in any organization.

While stating that NTA has the largest reach in the country, the Governor stressed on the need for the state and federal governments to collaborate for the improvement of the station.

Amosun, who led the NTA team on an inspection tour of Abeokuta, the state capital, to see the level of the infrastructural development, promised Mohammed that his government will do the needful to support not only NTA in Abeokuta, but other NTA stations in the state for proper information dissemination.

Mohammed had earlier said that the station must be seen to identify with the objectives and aspirations of the government.

The NTA boss, who praised Amosun for the transformation his administration has recorded, pleaded with the government to assist NTA in serving the state better.

Mohammed described the Governor as a focused man who has sincerity of purpose, stressing that the people of the state will forever remember the legacy his administration will be leaving behind.

He, however, urged Amosun and his team not to relent in their efforts to leave the state better than they met it.
