Aliagan seized the opportunity to urge government to the rescue of credible private media organizations in the face of numerous challenges, particularly, funding.
According to him, “Government plays a crucial role in creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, including media organizations. As Time Nigeria Magazine ranks among best 20 magazines and publications in the country, it is essential for the government to recognise the importance of encouraging investment in private media industry.
“Investing in private media organizations is vital for the growth and development of the industry. Media outlets are responsible for delivering accurate and objective information to the public, acting as the fourth estate and holding power to account. Robust investigations and in-depth reporting are crucial elements of journalism that can contribute to the overall development of any nation.”
Canvassing for financial intervention for private Media organization, Aliagan maintains that, “Media organizations require substantial financial resources to conduct investigations and consistently provide quality journalism. The need for government financial intervention in private Media cannot be overstated, as it enables the organization to expand its reach, improve its infrastructure, and attract top talent.
“In addition to government intervention in private media organization, Time Nigeria Magazine’s scribe is also soliciting for donations from individuals and corporate organisations who believe in the essence of media operations. These donations can support media in conducting more robust investigations and producing valuable content for its readers. It will also help to sustain the magazine’s independence and ensure the pursuit of truth and accountability.
“He also requests patronage from Nigerian businesses and advertisers. By advertising in the magazine, businesses can reach a wide audience and benefit from increased visibility and brand exposure. Special reporting and supplements offer unique opportunities for businesses to showcase their products, services, and initiatives to an engaged readership.
“By easing the process of doing business and encouraging investment in media organizations, government can promote a vibrant, free and independent media landscape in the country. This, in turn, leads to a more informed and engaged citizenry, fostering transparency, accountability, and the overall development of the nation. Aliagan maintains.

Group Petitions Senate President Over Alleged Unjust Dislodge of IST Chairman
From Joseph Amedu, Lokoja
Plateau Democratic Movement, (PDM), has petitioned the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to set up a committee to investigate the alleged “unconstitutional dislodgement” of the Chairman of Investments Securities Tribunal (IST), Mr Amos Azi from office.
The group’s Chairman, Ishaya Turba and Secretary, Iliya Mangai, in the petition signed and made available to newsmen on Fiday in Lokoja, Kogi, North Central Nigeria, described Azi’s removal as “Unjust and an abuse of office.”
The PDM said that Azi was appointed in August 2025 by President Bola Tinubu for a second term only for one Aminu Junaidu to surface and took over the office alleging that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) appointed him.
The group said that with the recent discovery of fake agencies and appointments, “there is need for the Senate to probe and questioned the sudden coming in of Mr Aminu Junaidu as IST Chairman shortly after Azi secured a second tenure duly approved by Mr President.”
“As a concerned group, we are moved to write this petition following ICPC’s recent uncovering of fictitious agencies operating under the office of the SGF.
“We have been following and monitoring recent events concerning fake agencies and fake chief executives of those agencies by ICPC.
“We believe the issue of fake appointment and fake agencies is related to what recently happened at the IST.”
PDM described as unfortunate a situation where Azi, who was duly appointed by the presidency, found himself dragging his position with junaidu.
“We are appealing for an urgent and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the emergence of Aminu Junaidu as Chairman of the Investments and Securities Tribunal (IST) and the circumstances surrounding his reported assumption of control of the tribunal,” the group added.
“Our concern is borne out of the conviction that the IST, whose mandate is to resolve capital market disputes, must be headed and administered strictly in accordance with its enabling law.
“Therefore, any irregularity concerning its leadership has the potential to undermine public confidence, the rule of law, and confidence in Nigeria’s capital-market regulatory framework.
“We hereby urge Mr Senate President to urgently investigate how Junaidu assumed the office on Oct. 2, 2025 under alleged controversial circumstances.
“This development immediately raised serious concerns because the statutory framework governing the appointment of the chairman of the tribunal is specifically prescribed in the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025.”
It could be recalled that a prominent advocacy group, Make A Difference Initiative (MADI), had on April 8 petitioned the senate over what it described as “a breach of the Investment and Securities Act 2025,” by the SGF, Sen. George Akume.
MADI’s petition, addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, highlighted concerns arising from what it described as the “illegal appointment of Junaidu by the SGF” weeks after President Bola Tinubu had approved the re-appointment of Azi as the tribunal’s chairman and CEO.
The group had urged the senate to investigate the alleged removal of Azi and correct the abnormal in the interest and security of investors in the country.
