The Centre for Media for Media, Policy and Accountability (CMPA) has urged journalists covering corruption cases to support the implementation of Nigeria Anti-Corruption Performance Public Reporting (NAPPR) project.
The project is funded by MacArthur Foundation with the aim of the center as the implementer to produce a harmonized reporting template for media and the Anti-Corruption Agencies (ACAs) in Nigeria.
Speaking in Abuja during a meeting, the center also urged the anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria to also support the implementation of the project in the country.
In a statement issued today by Ibrahim Uba Yusuf, the Director Communication, Outreach and Advocacy of the center said the project will be implemented within two years.
According to him, the 25 journalists were already selected for the project. The journalists, he said, were drowned from broadcast, print and online media, as well as other stakeholders from the anti corruption agencies.
'Executive Director CMPA and Project Manager Dr Suleiman Amu Suleiman had while welcoming the journalists noted the disparities in reporting anti-corruption cases by reporters and media organizations and attributed this to absent of a harmonized reporting template.
‘At the end of the project, we will produce a harmonize reporting template for media and the ACA,' part of the statement read.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
