Through the years of journalism practice,that I have spent, especially in comtemporary society dotted with rural life,I have seen deprieved people, their exclusion from government,poverty and poor state of social amenities,and have come to terms with the fact that while it is good to engage the government, the public should also be tasked with issues of interest that would impact on them in a partcipatory community spirit.

Participatory platform discourages aloftness.When the educated understands,it is good but when the illiterates are ignored society become endangered.There is need therefpre to take the time to move them to a position of understanding.

However, understanding does not come easy, both to the educated and the illiterate. Though the educated has a better inclination to it.When understanding is solicited for policies and programmes, plaguing issues should not be ignored to douse frictions.

Genuine opinions that are useful in all respects should be harnessed.They are good for the local community nd could be useful to help activities at the national sphere.

In the face of these challenges,the media task becomes more demanding in finding a sure way on how to channel, coordinate and drive into mainstream of national focus issues of ignored rural communities.

The need is therefore urgent with a devoted focus to tackle policy makers and enforcement agencies to drive growth with every shade of education at the rural areas where majority of the people live.

This is so because no meaningful economic and political growth is tenable when the divide is wide.This calls for mentoring resources and education through journalism activities and reportage vigorously provided;the journalist challenge.

This direction, eventually, puts the citizenry on a pedestal of contributive participation platform for national growth.
