Speaking at the conference with the theme Communication, Governance and Development, Alhaji Mohammed called on all communication professionals particularly the members of the media to be professional in their delivery and avoid promoting information that may bring diversity rather than the needed cohesion that is germane for the growth and development of Nigeria.
