In 2009, Dabiri-Erewa sponsored a Bill before the Nigerian Federal House of Representatives that would grant the freedom to practice journalism only after obtaining certain qualifications.
The bill received public criticism, and was seen as an attempt to gag the media.
There was a concern that the change would serve to enable tyranny and nepotism since most of the board appointments would be made by the President and/or Government executive members.
In a morning TV program aired on November 30, 2009, Dabari-Erawa denied aiding corruption and hindering media freedom, stating that the bill would serve to professionalise journalism in Nigeria.
