Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has asked the country’s chapter of the International Press Institute, IPI to use the 2018 edition of the institute’s world congress in Abuja to project the country’s image to the globe. He gave the advice when the board of the association paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa. According to him, it was a very important opportunity for Nigeria to showcase itself and also to show that it is safe and secure for business.
The acting president assured the IPI that the Buhari administration would partner the Nigerian chapter of the IPI to host a hitch-free 2018 World Congress of the Global Network of Free Media. He also assured the board that states could participate in the hosting, especially as it provided “an important opportunity for tourism and for them to showcase some of the great initiatives that they have.’’ Osinbajo further urged the local organizing committee to consider putting on the agenda of the June 2018 event, the issue of hate speech and its implications for the polity and for peace and security.
