In 2009, the African Union adopted the Kampala\nConvention on IDPs. This regional instrument is an important step in the\nprotection of and provision of assistance to IDPs in one of the continents most\naffected by displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Oloruntola therefore suggested the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Domestication\nof the Kampala Convention by the Nigerian government<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is\na need to take proactive steps in providing the needed incentives and security\nfor the IDPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Good\ngovernance is a panacea to peaceful co-existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All\ncases of rape and abuse in the camps must be properly handled to serve as\ndeterrence against future reoccurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There\nshould be national policy frameworks on the IDPs to be implemented by NGOs\/CSOs\nand the government. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the\nmedia, there should be proper coverage of IDPs, report facts on IDPs and also\njournalists should be ethical in their reporting and show humanity. Besides the\nmedia should speak for the people and give them a voice. More importantly, they\nshould be portrayed as people who can still contribute to development of the\nsociety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two discussants, former Saturday editor of Saturday Punch,\nMrs Bisi Dei-Folutile&nbsp; and News editor of\nRadio Lagos, Muyiwa Kalejaye also offered their views on the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While acknowledging the need to report about IDPs, Kalejaye\nsaid the bureaucracy and hostile attitudes of government officials that limits\naccess of journalists to IDP camps to conduct in-depth coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He shared the experience he had to go through when he tried\nto report goings on in an IDP camp despite the fact that he works with a\npopular state government owned outfit and came in a car that boldly announced\nhis presence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He challenged media owners to pay their workers as and when\ndue so that they can be alive to their responsibilities of covering crucial\nissues including the plight of IDPs and urged &nbsp;JFC\/WACC not to relent in its encouragement to\njournalists to continue to put the IDPs in the front burner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deji-Folutile highlighted lack of enough staff and resources\nin media organisations to ensure that priority be given to IDP issues which may\nbe considered as major news reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She called on JFC\/WACC to commission independent journalists\nto do special reports on IDPs instead of relying only journalist employed by\nmedia houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She noted that the media should also focus on bad governance\nwhich according to her is the part of the cause of the crisis that gave rise to\ndisplacements of citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mrs Ola Erinfolami of the National Commission for Refugees,\nMigrants and Internally Displaced Persons said the agency has been trying its\nbest to cater for displaced persons in camps and other centres across the\ncountry&nbsp; and called for more support to\nmeet the various needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She noted that there are many children of school age that\nare out of school not because they hated western education or civilisation but\nbecause they cannot afford school fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There are many kids with us there that can be\nsponsored to go to school; many of them are out of school. Nothing is too small\nfor them. You can pick the sponsorship of their school fees even for just a\nterm or a session,&#8221; she appealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Betty Abbah the executive director of the Centre for\nChildren&#8217;s Health Education, Orientation and Protection (CEE-HOPE) and Member\nof Board of Trustees of JFC who moderated the event painted a pathetic picture\nof what children and women go through in the camps, especially women whom she\nsaid sometimes cannot afford or are not provided with simple basic items like\nsanitary pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She urged the media to live up to the responsibility of\nreporting the various critical issues in the camp beyond government\npronouncements. According to her there are health, psychological, human rights\nand accountability perspectives to reporting about IPDs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Executive Director of Journalists Against AIDS ( JAAIDS) Ms\nOlayide Akanni said the report which aims to assess how the Nigerian media is\nhighlighting the voices of the voiceless is very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is good to highlight major issues like that of the IDPs\nbecause If we don\u2019t highlight them, the government will not pay attention. The\nmedia is the fourth estate of the realm. We are the ones that set the agenda;\nwe are the ones that put issues on the front burners; and we need regular\nassessment like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor me, I think it\u2019s a call to action; for government and\nagencies.&nbsp; It\u2019s a call for action for us\nto think deeply about our plans for IDPs because it\u2019s a becoming decimal in our\nhistory in the past few years.\u201d Akanni stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chairman of the Lagos Council of the Nigeria Union of\nJournalists, Dr Qasim Akinreti commended WACC and OPM for supporting the\nmonitoring and publication of the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said \u2018Muffled Voices\u2019 will challenge the media to bring\nthe stories of IDPs to the consciousness of the nation and call to question\nthose who are responsible for their plights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As agents of change, Akinreti said journalists must be ready\nto make every sacrifice, so that, the down-trodden like IDPs can get the relief\nthey need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Journalist and Executive Director of Media Support Centre,\nLagos also commended the publication and challenged journalists to find the\nright balance between professionalism and the profitable management of media\nhouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, journalists must show compassion by\nreporting on the downtrodden in the society like the IDPs and draw attention to\nwhat needs to be done to cater for their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWho has been lifted out of poverty by your story, who has\nbeen elevated? Who\u2019s that person who will see you in the future and say, if not\nfor that report or story? As reporters we must be social agents of change\u201d\nFatade stated. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journalists for Christ International Outreach, Nigeria has launched a report on Media Reportage and Portrayal of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[96,136],"class_list":["post-453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-idp","tag-nigeria"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 -
