Lanre Arogundade Participants at the International Press Centre’s (IPC) media roundtable and stakeholders’ forum on journalists’ safety and press freedom limitations in Nigeria held in Lagos last week have restated the need for safety of journalists to be given desired attention and utmost priority. Drawn from the print, electronic, online media, academics and civil society, the participants observed that the country’s media space is shrinking, which adversely, is affecting journalists’ output. In his welcome remarks, Executive Director, IPC, Lanre Arogundade, said safety of journalists in Nigeria requires special attention, adding that there is urgent need to address the situation, as the country is now one of the most dangerous and difficult countries for the media to operate in West Africa.
