Economics development is a major need in most communities and nations of the world, because of its effect on the people and the nation in general. An economically stable and developed country is not only wealthy but healthy to a great extent because, it can achieve whatever it wants with its wealth. No wonder, economic development has become a major yardstick in measuring a nations level of development.
In Nigeria, thee is no difference and that is why all hands have been on deck in the pursuit of the millennium development goal and rebranding exercise of the nation in order to save the nation from the effects of the global financial crisis that have hit most nations of the world like a timed bomb.
But sound economic development requires sound information, since it is a known fact that information brings reformation while lack of it leads to deformation. It is in the light of the above that the media have become the touch bearer in the run-guard for the political emancipation and economic development of Nigeria especially those in the hinter land.
