One of them is a policy maker, Mr Henry Angulu, the Director of Public Information in the Federal Ministry of Information, Abuja. The second respondent is Evelyn Onyilo, the Editor-in Chief of Phenomenal magazine. Like Hon. Abike Dabiri Edeawor she also did journalism proud with her factual and people-oriented reports as an NTA staff. She is now a publisher and a critical stakeholder in the issue at stake.

The third respondent Friday Odekina is a free lance journalist. Other views were sent to my email box and through SMS. One is from Hajiya Amina Yusuf Garba, an articulate lady and ardent newspaper reader who has served three times as a commissioner in various ministries in Zamfara State and now does community work through some Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in the state. Another came from a journalist with Benue State Radio.

The last, but by no means the least, came from a reader through SMS who did not provide an address. I am requesting other stakeholders to please send their views to Ombudswoman by SMS 07031894787 or email:[email protected] or:[email protected]
