One wonders if this style of giving information to the public is peculiar to Nigeria. For example,our president wants to announce the provision of 50 job vacancies in the federal service,he would do that at a public dinner held wit the UK ambassador,instead of holding a press conference:where he may clarify the issue more to the press. In this style,announcements abt ASUU strike,ban on rice importation,privatisation deals,fuel subsidy,political impasse within the PDP,diplomatic row,are made at dinners,seminars nd workshop,award night,political rally,courtesy visits and the likes. In all these,the more sober and formal press conference,state of the nation address,etc are lost.Dont get the issue muddled,l seek only public accountability,like in the US .the question; is there a reason or benefit in this method?
