SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

CHAPTER FIVESUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONSThis chapter deals with the summary findings, discussion, conclusion, implication recommendation, and suggestions for further studies and limitations of the study.5.1   Summary of FindingsAfter a thorough analysis of data and interpretations, a number of revealing facts emerged. 1.  The welfare of the media staff is close to being perfect in the Bayelsa State Broadcasting Corporation.
2.  The researcher also discovered that there is no retirement benefits put in place for retiring journalist in the corporation. The journalists are not given free hands to operate or to bring out their talents due to government interference.
3.  The research shows that the practice of journalism in Nigeria is yet to be effective. Though some of the journalists believe that based on what is obtainable in Nigeria, the journalism practiced is effective.
5.2      Conclusion
From the research conducted this conclusion is derived, if the media staff are given good welfare package, they will do more than when it is not considered.Again, if the government should give them freedom to operate and free access to information, they will do better.Also, journalists should be professionals and eliminate quacks from the profession, there will be effective journalism.And they should be fearless, shun brown envelops and be objective in their reports in order to restore the prestige of Nigerian journalists.



5.3      Recommendations
In relation to the discoveries of this study, I hereby recommend the following:1.  The owners of the media houses should ensure that the welfare of their staff is considered favourably.
2.  The government should also allow the journalists to practice freely. And the journalists should also try as much as possible to be fearless and objective as they carry out their duties.
3.  They should try to restore the lost prestige of the profession of journalism in Nigeria by being professionals and ethical in the discharge of their duties.
5.4      Implications  of the Research Findings
Following the recommendations given above, if the welfare package improves and the government allows journalist to carry on with their duties without interference, then will effective journalism be obtainable in Nigerian.5.5   Suggestion for Further Study
I suggest that more researchers should still look deeply into this topic and other related topics.
