Participants at a workshop on the review of the 1999 constitution have stressed the need for independence and freedom of the press.
This is contained in a 10-point communiqué issued at the end of a two-day workshop in Enugu.
The participants drawn from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states, pledged to give maximum coverage and publicity to the constitution review.
They agreed to partner with governments, donor and development agencies as well as other stakeholders to support operations of the media during the exercise.
The communiqué said the participants endorsed the 35 per cent affirmative action for women in all elective and appointive positions and 30 per cent representation for the youths in the constitution.
They also called for the rights of women, widows, widowers, persons with disability in the constitution.
The workshop was organised by the Democratic Governance for Development Project.
