“Presenters (journalists) were also banned from asking provocative questions or making suggestive gestures that could lead to statements capable of defaming individuals or damaging the image of Kano State,” he said.
Yola said the directives were meant “to promote responsible journalism, mutual respect, and the protection of Kano State’s cultural and religious heritage,
“The quarterly meeting, convened by the Ministry of Information, aims to strengthen understanding and cooperation between media organisations and the government.
He said the effort was also “to ensure effective information dissemination that uphold the dignity and image of Kano State”.
