Coscharis lauds NAN for role in nation building

By Giwa SHILE

Mr Cosmas Maduka, the Chief Executive Officer, Coscharis Group of companies, has lauded the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) for the role it was playing to engender national cohesion and development.

Maduka, a renowned industrialist, who made the assertion during a visit to the Lagos office of NAN on Monday, said that he was willing to collaborate with the agency to foster nation building.

The business mogul assured NAN that he would patronise the agency’s services and requested its Marketing department to submit a proposal to his company.

“In this period in our country, rife with political and ethnicity conflicts, the nation needs an agency as professional as NAN to assist in moderating issues that may break the country’s unity.

“Peace is one the greatest things that can happen to a people.

“Our media houses should join the fight against publications that are capable of inciting violence.

“I am confident that NAN will not relent in its nation building roles and we will always be there to assist,” he said.

Responding, Mr Ibrahim Mammanga, Head, NAN Lagos Directorate, thanked Maduka for visiting.

Mammanga said that as part of the agency’s mandate, it would work with Coscharis and other industrialists toward developing the nations’ economic sector.

He noted that NAN had the human and infrastructural capacity to deliver on its mandate as the largest news agency in Africa with no fewer than 600 journalist spread across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
