Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how pregnant women in rural communities in Jalingo, Taraba State, access and utilise maternal health information, as well as the challenges they encounter in this process. Drawing from the health belief model, a qualitative approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with 25 participants. The data collected were thematically analysed, and the findings revealed that pregnant women primarily access maternal health information from hospitals and clinics, gaining knowledge on childbirth preparation, nutrition, exercise, and pregnancy risks. However, they face challenges including overcrowded hospitals, poor staff attitudes, language barriers, and transportation issues. The study recommends that the government should improve its infrastructure and services in public hospitals and rural clinics to accommodate the large number of women seeking maternal health information and services, implement language interpretation services, utilise diverse information dissemination channels, establish mobile clinics to take maternal health services into rural communities, foster community awareness, and support networks for maternal health issues.

Abstract

This study investigated journalists' knowledge and utilization of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in Taraba State, Nigeria, particularly in relation to its role in exposing corruption in governance. Employing a quantitative research approach with a descriptive survey design, the study targeted 144 registered journalists, from which a sample of 84 respondents was selected using stratified and random sampling techniques. Data were collected through face-to-face administration of a questionnaire, ensuring content validity through expert review and confirming reliability via a pilot study. The findings revealed that while journalists in Taraba State possess a moderate level of awareness regarding the FOIA, their understanding of its provisions and practical application remains limited. The utilization of the FOIA to combat corruption was found to be low, with many journalists rarely using the law to expose corruption. Challenges such as bureaucratic delays, resistance from government officials, insufficient information, political pressures, and the complex process of requesting data under the FOIA were identified as major barriers to its effective use. The study recommends training for journalists on the FOIA, improvements in government response processes, stronger legal protections for journalists.
