He said, "From time immemorial, the media has been central to building accountable, transparent, and people-focused governance. By working with the media, governments, organisations, and communities can amplify their messages, raise awareness, and inspire positive change.

"The press, are more than reporters of events — you are shapers of public opinion, builders of trust, and watchdogs of democracy. When the media works hand in hand with government, citizens are better informed, policies are better understood, and communities are more engaged.

"Our administration’s focus is clear in Empowering local businesses and artisans with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive. Building infrastructure that supports commerce and improves daily life.

"Creating opportunities for our youth in skills acquisition, technology, and entrepreneurship. But these efforts only succeed when people are aware of them, trust them, and participate in them — and that’s where the media plays a vital role.

"Media partnerships are not just about publicity — they are about building trust, enabling participation, and ensuring that governance is truly by the people and for the people. Effective collaboration requires trust, access to information, continuous engagement, and mutual respect.

"Good governance is a shared responsibility. Together — government, the media, and the people — we can make Orile-Agege a model community where governance works, businesses grow, and citizens prosper".

The Council boss then urged Media Practitioners present to engaged in constructive criticism that can check government in their daily activities.
