“We are determined to keep the flag flying in spite of all the odds. We are doing this in recognition of the role of the media towards a better society. The growing use and activities on the social media space has necessitated that actions be taken towards instilling ethics, which apply to the media space. We are calling on well-meaning citizens of the state and beyond to partners with us towards achieving this goal, which in the past four years, has recorded a lot of feats”, he said.
