The Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Hon. Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa, has described the establishment of the Kano Online Media Chapel as timely and highly commendable.
Dungurawa made the remarks when he received the executive members of the newly formed chapel during a courtesy visit to the NNPP State Secretariat. He urged the members to work as a united team with dedication and commitment, noting that success in any new venture requires hard work and resilience.
“To actualise anything new, you have to work hard because there are always challenges, catastrophic issues, hurdles, obstacles, and other difficulties,” he said.
The chairman emphasised that online journalism has become increasingly essential in the evolving media landscape. He, however, advised practitioners to uphold professionalism, ethics, and decorum to safeguard the rights and reputations of individuals and groups.

Dungurawa also encouraged the chapel to diversify its operations to ensure sustainability. He assured them of the readiness of both the NNPP-led government and the party to collaborate with online media platforms in disseminating information on government policies, programmes, and activities for the overall development of the state.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Kano Online Media Chapel, Comrade Abubakar Abdulkadir Dangambo, said the visit was aimed at formally introducing the new executive members. He called on politicians to strengthen their working relationship with online media platforms for more effective public communication.
Dangambo stressed that journalism and politics are interdependent components of nation-building but maintained that professional journalists remain guided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and do not engage in bias or political partisanship.
