The Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty, Obi Prof. Chike Edozien, has advised media practitioners to continue to exhibit core tenets of the profession anchored on objectivity, fairness and balance in their reportage as it was the only way to engender an egalitarian society.

Asagba of Asaba gave the advice in his palace in the capital city of Asaba, when the executive members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Delta State Council paid him a courtesy visit to intimate him of the upcoming 2022 NUJ Delta Press Week/Delta Icon Awards.

The highly revered monarch, described the media as a very critical sector in the socio-economic development and growth of every society, hence the need for practitioners to live above board.

He particularly harped on thorough investigation and balancing of stories, adding that giving every side the opportunity to present their case would only be fair and objective, which in turn enhances the positive perception of the media by the public.
