In a bold move to strengthen legislative journalism in Nigeria, Mohammed Bello Doka, Editor-in-Chief of Abuja Exclusive Magazine, has initiated talks with the Office of the Senate President to foster a partnership for accurate and transparent legislative reporting.
The high-profile meeting, held with Dr. Halima Ahmed Usman, Senior Legislative Aide to the Senate President on Humanitarian Affairs, highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between legislative activities and public awareness. During the meeting, Doka presented copies of Abuja Exclusive Magazine to Dr. Usman, showcasing the publication’s commitment to delivering credible and comprehensive news coverage.
Discussions centered around the potential collaboration between Abuja Exclusive and the Office of the Senate President to ensure that legislative affairs are reported with integrity and clarity. The proposed partnership aims to leverage the magazine’s editorial expertise to provide in-depth coverage of Senate proceedings, committee activities, and humanitarian initiatives led by the Senate President’s office.
Dr. Usman praised the magazine’s track record and expressed optimism about the potential partnership. "The role of the media in shaping public perception and fostering accountability cannot be overstated. Abuja Exclusive Magazine has demonstrated its dedication to quality journalism, and we look forward to exploring how this collaboration could further promote transparency in governance," she stated.
While the partnership has not yet been finalized, both parties acknowledged the mutual benefits of such a collaboration, emphasizing the need for accurate reporting to build trust between the legislature and the public.
If concluded, the partnership could position Abuja Exclusive Magazine as a leading platform for legislative reporting in Nigeria, setting a standard for excellence and transparency in media coverage. This initiative underscores the magazine’s commitment to upholding its editorial mission and contributing to the democratic process through responsible journalism.
