EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
That there is a growing awareness of journalists on the FOIA. This is not coming as a surprise as journalists a long side other civil society organization were at the forefront for the passage into law of the Freedom of Information. This awareness, it is discovered, is necessary for the maximization of the latent prospects of the FOIA in Nigeria.
Again that the FOIA will indeed create access to government-held information remains cheering news. This is against the backdrop of the fact that the law provides a platform for participation and interaction between the government and the governed – these are veritable indices of a true democracy.
However, the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as it is at the moment has been seen as one of the greatest banes to the workability of the FOIA in Nigeria. To this end, the advocacy for the repelling of some of these anti-press laws in our statutes if the FOIA must work is a call that cannot be easily waved off.
Also, sheering is the fact that the FOIA has been seen as one of the ingredients for the sustenance and strengthening of our nation‟s democracy. This is owing largely to the fact that the Act has been seen as engendering responsibility, transparency and accountability in government.
Interestingly, the FOIA has been seen as an indispensable agent catalyst to effective journalism practice. This is true in that, it provides the necessary platform for objective, factual, fair and balanced reporting.
Finally, the FOIA ushers in an era of freedom with responsibility in which the journalists is saddled with the task to reporting in such manners that would only be fair and factual yet engendering national development.
