Why Clearview TV News, Wole Soyinka Center For Investigating Journalism Trains 20 Journalists on Investigative Reporting

By Emmanuel Daudu

Clearview TV News and the Wole Soyinka Center For Investigative Journalism have realized that in a sense, investigative journalism, using the rhetoric of exposure, recasts the relationship between public and private officials and their constituents, stripping the officials of some of their power and redistributing it among the public is of great importance which is aimed at enhancing transparency and curbing corruption to it’s lowest minimum, which is of greater essence.

Investigative journalism thrives in the open atmosphere of press freedom, accessible government records, and respect for the media. The United States has led in the development of this practice.

An era of intensely adversarial journalism ensued in the late 1800s and early 1900s in which journalists exposed corruption and malfeasance by government and business.

Investigative journalists analyze information and carry out in-depth research to reveal the truth and shed light on abuses. An investigative journalist looks critically at the facts. Often, he does so for a reason; he may, for example, have received a tip from a whistleblower within a company or government agency. Or the investigative journalist himself may come across information that does not seem right and decide to investigate it.

Investigative journalism is aimed at exposing wrongdoing and hypocrisy.
Investigative journalism should call the powerful to account, and expose corruption. It is important in any democracy. It has nothing to do with prying into the private lives of celebrities – that’s a separate matter. Journalists may need some subterfuge to carry it out, but this is not the same as hacking into the telephones of individuals.

It’s supposed to give the public a ‘heads up” about certain people who are not obeying the law. They are usually getting financially rewarded to the detriment of taxpayers.

Journalism can hold individuals and institutions accountable in the way that elections every four years or AGMs do not. Its purpose should be to uncover that which others might wish to remain hidden. Preferably issues that affect society and not gossip.

Its function is to reveal the truth, to root out facts many people often want to keep hidden, to re-establish fairness, and to shine light in dark places. Good investigative journalism is journalism’s strongest suit.

Investigative journalism should be able to uncover the truth and not be selective in its revelations. It should not be tainted by people and/or organizations that do not want the truth revealed.

To bring to our attention stuff that matters. To uncover which people in power would like to keep secret for their gain and the detriment of society.

It should concentrate on exposing corruption, exploitation, illegal practices that are harmful to individuals or society, etc. Investigative journalism shouldn’t be used, as it so often is now, to find out sensational and salacious gossip about celebrities and victims of tragedies. It should be used in the public interest, not for things that are merely of interest to the public.

Investigative journalism firstly diverts resources and expertise into unmasking potential abuses of power and/or developments that stand to significantly impact the life of a proportion of society, or at the very least create a system of monitoring powerful interests that may check abuses of power with such outcomes. This is an extension of the liberal democratic/enlightenment ideal of limiting power and influence, as an informal check on the illegal or questionable activities of resourced actors Secondly, it should also draw attention to passive shortcomings in public policy that affect the public.

It should serve as a check and balance against power-hungry corporations and the government. It should inform the public rather than sensationalize.

Investigative journalism provides the truth about people from the government and other entities such as corporations who attempt to keep their often illegal activities secret. Its purpose is to expose such actions so that those involved can be held accountable.

Investigative journalism simply does in a more detailed and comprehensive way what all journalism should do, namely act as a watchdog in the public interest. In particular, it must expose abuses of power wherever it finds them – and these days these are to be found as much in the corporate sector as in the state sector.

It is base on these, the organizations saw reasons to embark on training journalists.

The 3-day Capacity Building Training on Investigative Reporting in Abuja which was funded by MacArthur Foundation held from Wednesday 12th to Friday 14th July 2023.

In his welcome remarks the C.E.O of ClearView TV News, Sam Odion Bello advised participants to concentrate on the content in order to gain relevant knowledge.
He noted that the caliber of participants in this edition is commendable. He also said that investigative journalism is the way to go for good governance as the reports hold the leaders accountable.
“In a dynamic world like ours where most professions are threatened by the advent of artificial intelligence and the rise in robotics, it is only imperative that professionals build their capacities to stay afloat. This underscores why we at Clearview TV News with the support Wole Soyinka Centre for
Investigative journalism (WSCIJ), is participating in the C- Media Project which among other things aims to build the capacity of Journalists to promote accountability and national and sub-national levels.
“At the core of the C-MEDIA Project is the desire to hold government, the organized private sector, high net-worth and network individuals, and other relevant stakeholders accountable in their daily activities that are directly connected to the good of the common man.
“With the advent of the internet, The proliferation of media outlets has affected the regular as most stories are now broken by social media such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, etc.

“The clamour for more investments in investigative reporting is even more justified because it can unearth the many ills and corrupt practices in government and society.

“However, if we are committed and remain resolute, there are funding opportunities that we as journalists can explore to carry out investigations”, Odion said.

In his overview of Clearview TV C- Media Project, the Lead Program Coordinator, Nten Nkpang called on Journalists to develop keen interest in Investigative journalism as it has funding opportunities for those who have good pitches.

The Lead Presentation was made by an experienced journalist, Media, and Public Relations Consultant, Ms. Romoke Ahmad on “Open-Source Intelligence In Investigative Journalism”.

She disclosed the essence of throwing light on Open- source intelligence In Investigative Journal

Hard But Necessary Reforms, Imperative To Ramp Up Tax Revenues — Muhammad Nami, Chairman Joint Tax Board

For Nigeria to attain optimum tax revenue collection capacity across the Federal, States and Local Government tax authorities, the country must make hard but necessary reforms that would yield long term benefits.

This was the position stated by the Chairman of the Joint Tax Board (JTB), Mr. Muhammad Nami, who is also the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) at the 153rd Meeting of the Board which held today in Abuja with the theme: “Harmonization and codification of taxes at the National and Sub-national levels: Key to achieving a tax friendly environment in Nigeria.”

According to Johannes Oluwatobi Wojuola, Special Assistant to the Executive Chairman, FIRS
(Media & Communication), in a press release he signed on 7 August, 2023, Mr. Nami, while delivering his address to the Board stated that for progress to be made in taxation, tax authorities must continue to explore and adopt measures and innovative initiatives that will lead to the optimisation of tax revenue for all levels of government.

“As the new administrations attempt to address the many socioeconomic challenges facing the nation on many fronts, it becomes imperative for all the levers of State to shake-off any lethargic antecedents and focus on the goal of a national resurgence.

“The unique and privileged offices we occupy as drivers of the nation’s tax administration processes presents us with a rare opportunity to take hard, but necessary decisions that are expected to yield long term benefits and add immense value to our collective prosperity as a nation.

“In recent years, especially since the dawn of our current democratic dispensation, the importance of taxation has continued to be reiterated and reinforced by all, and the critical role that tax-revenue plays in funding government and governance cannot be over-emphasized.

“However, as we continue to make progress in our unique model of taxation, it is appropriate that we continue to explore and adopt measures and innovative initiatives that will lead to the optimization of tax revenue for all the levels of government, in more efficient, more effective, more inclusive, and more sustainable ways.

“It is only by achieving this, that our efforts as tax administrators can trigger the manner of activity required in the productive sectors of our economy, towards achieving the immense economic potentials that we are capable of,” Mr. Nami said.

The Chairman of the Joint Tax Board further assured Executive Chairmen of State Revenue Authorities present that given the thrust of the current administration’s tax policy direction, the country was on the pathway to eradicating multiplicity of taxes as a core of its overall economic regeneration objectives.

Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman, Presidential Fiscal Policy & Tax Reforms Committee, while delivering a presentation on the theme of the meeting highlighted that multiple taxation was causing low tax morale in the country, as well as discouraging investments, while creating room for corruption and making doing business difficult.

The Presidential Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms Committee Chairman further noted that the solution to the country’s revenue challenges is not to introduce more taxes, but to focus on the few taxes that are high yielding, noting that with these, tax authorities would be able to collect far more than is currently being collected.

Mr. Taiwo stated that for the government to raise more revenue, it needed to get to a point where the total number of taxes collected at the Federal, State and Local government levels would be at a single digit.

“We also need to clarify on taxing rights. We need to integrate tax collection functions—that is, all revenues that are to be collected must be collected by a single revenue agency. Government must also do well to fund our tax agencies well. We also need to harmonise revenue administration and simplify our approach to tax compliance,” Mr. Taiwo stated.

He further advocated for the country’s tax authorities to use more technology, review the country’s constitution and tax laws, as well revisit Nigeria’s concept of fiscal federalism.
