In a statement issued in Abuja, yesterday, and signed by the Special Assistant to the President, Office of the Minister of Information and Culture, Segun Adeyemi, the minister said the clarification becomes necessary in view of the inadequate time to properly accredit working journalists in the affected states and the FCT during the period.
