The Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication to President Bola Tinubu, Sunday Dare has emphasised the vital role of civil society organisations in ensuring sustainable democracy in Nigeria and globally.
Dare highlighted the importance of a strong synergy between the media and civil Society organisations, citing their instrumental role in Nigeria’s transition to democracy and the ousting of the military regime.
He said this when the leadership of the National Civil Society Council of Nigeria, led by Executive Director, Blessing Akinlosotu visited him on Friday.
Dare said that this collaboration was essential for promoting democratic values and principles.
He said: “If the combined force of the media and organised civil society community can dislodge the mighty military government from Nigeria, how much more will this same force not influence desired outcomes towards national unity and development?”
