"It's evident that not all aspects of Traber's 1978 report adequately appeal to our present concern in Nigeria, but there are certain proposals that are still very much relevant. An example is its proposal to establish a Catholic National Weekly Newspaper and a National Monthly Magazine. This is dear to the heart of Nigerians - even bishops. "They (Nigerians) need to have a central paper sponsored by all with branches in every diocese," Fagun, bishop of Ekiti said. "Nigerian Catholic Newspapers inform, educate and entertain the people." For Adeyemi Peter Oluseyi, one of our respondents, "There is a need to have one national newspaper that will be the active voice of Catholic faith in Nigeria." He said this national newspaper should be made to be "equal. in standard to the popular national dailies like the Punch and Guardian newspapers." Erengwa, a board member of the Catholic Herald in Lagos said, "At the moment I am working on a national monthly Catholic magazine with Bishop Emmanuel Badejo. We are also working with him on a monthly Yoruba Catholic devotional magazine." (Conclusion, page 92)
