By Tgnews Reporter

A cultural researcher and advocate for interfaith harmony, Dada Bala Zuruh, has commended TGNews International for its role in promoting national unity, religious tolerance, and peaceful coexistence through responsible journalism.

In a statement of appreciation, Zuruh praised the newspaper’s editor, management, and staff for publishing and widely circulating his article on religious tolerance and national cohesion, which was disseminated through the platform of the National Interfaith and Interreligious Youth Network.

According to him, the publication helped amplify a message aimed at fostering understanding and harmony among Nigerians of different faiths, ethnic backgrounds, and cultural identities.

Zuruh noted that by providing a platform for discussions on peacebuilding and interfaith dialogue, TGNews International had demonstrated the important role of the media in strengthening national unity and encouraging constructive engagement among citizens.

He particularly lauded the organisation for publishing the article without any financial obligation, describing the gesture as a demonstration of commitment to public enlightenment, truth, and the common good.

The researcher stated that at a time when societies around the world face growing challenges of division, mistrust, and intolerance, media organisations have a critical responsibility to promote dialogue, mutual respect, and social cohesion.

He said TGNews International had shown that journalism can serve as a powerful tool for nation-building by creating awareness and encouraging conversations that transcend religious, ethnic, and cultural differences.

Zuruh further expressed appreciation to the media organisation for supporting efforts aimed at building a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria, adding that the publication had strengthened the collective pursuit of national unity.

He prayed for the continued growth and success of TGNews International, expressing hope that the organisation would remain a credible platform for responsible journalism, peace advocacy, and public enlightenment.

The commendation comes amid increasing calls for media organisations to play a more active role in promoting tolerance, dialogue, and understanding in Nigeria’s diverse society.
