Aso Rock correspondent of Deutsche Welle, a German Radio and Television media group, Mallam Ubale Musa, who was barred from the Villa in the last days of former President Goodluck Jonathan, has been fully re-integrated back to his beat by President Muhammadu Buhari.
On the directive of President Buhari today, the Villa Press Tag of Ubale Musa was restored to him.
Presenting the Press Tag to the correspondent at the Presidential Villa, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said that Ubale Musa’s re-accreditation as a State House correspondent was in keeping with President Buhari’s commitment to correcting the wrongs of the past.
“Part of the change promised by President Buhari is to correct things that were wrongly done before. Mr. Ubale Musa’s accreditation was wrongly withdrawn. To redress the wrong done to him by the withdrawal, we have returned his Villa Press Pass to him so that he can continue his work without hindrance,” Adesina said.
In his brief remarks after receiving his Villa Press Pass, Ubale Musa thanked President Buhari and his media team for restoring his accreditation.
He promised that he will continue to do his work as a State House Correspondent objectively, professionally and with due regard to the ethics of journalism. [myad]
