Letter to Bola Tinubu on Agric reporting

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Dear  President  Bola  Tinubu There has just been a national conference  on agricultural reporting  as planned by Dr Adewale  Kupoliyi,  lawyer, public relations man and journalist and administrator  at the federal universty  oif agriculture,  Abeokuta.  I feel the government  in its quest  for zero hunger needs to partner  with journalists  and Public  relations  practitioners. Especially in a time of emergency in food security. Journalists  need to be equipped  by government  with essential  tools     Every good journalist needs some basic equipment in their journalism toolbox. These include a smartphone, dictaphone, laptop, headset for calls, a writing app and potentially a tablet.And journalists  need helicopter service, jeeps,mountain  bikes,speed boats.  Public relations people  help to change  the perception  as held by youths  of agriculture. Our farmers sre aging and the youths are  not shoeing enough interest jn agriculture.
