Nigerian journalists across various media have lauded Airtel Nigeria for its immense contributions towards the development of the media industry.

Select journalists who were speaking on Monday (July 27th) at the kick-off of the first leg of the Airtel multimedia training for 100 Nigerian journalists showered encomiums on the nation’s leading telecommunications services provider, saying the telco has always played a key role in the growth and development of the media.

Sunday Okobi, a journalist with ThisDay Newspaper said, “I have always had great admiration for the work Airtel Nigeria does. This good corporate citizen has given me the opportunity to not only improve on my professional skills but also to develop myself.

“After this training, I am sure I am going to be an asset, not only to the world of journalism but to the nation as a whole. Thank you Airtel Nigeria”.
Uche Akaolisa, a seasoned journalist with Hallmark newspaper expressed her excitement for the training programme.

“Airtel Nigeria is giving me the opportunity to be social media savvy. With this knowledge I will be able to respond effectively to the demand for online content,” said a delighted Akaolisa.

The Lagos edition of The Journalism Clinic is holding at The Hub, Surulere, Lagos. The exciting initiative is exposing select participating journalists from across Nigeria to tools and techniques to make their content more compelling to the vast audiences who now, more than ever before, consume news and other content on digital platforms.

Segun Adeleye, Publisher, Worldstage Newsonline, highlighted on Airtel’s contribution to his career and business.

“Although I am already a player in digital media, this training by Airtel Nigeria has exposed me to another world of opportunity. With this training I will be able to implement the latest skills and technology in the digital world, get the best traffic and attract more advertisement.

“In fact, Airtel Nigeria is giving me a chance to compete with not only the Nigerian digital media space but the international media space,” said Adeleye.
The journalists also shared their excitement in getting the opportunity to train with Dan Mason, an international trainer and specialist in digital media.

Also speaking at the event, Emeka Oparah, Director, Corporate communication and CSR, Airtel Nigeria, said the telco is committed to creating exceptional platforms and opportunities for Nigerian journalists.

According to Oparah, Airtel is intensely interested in developing the media industry and is partnering key stakeholders in the development of the Nigerian Industry.

“One of our core values, at Airtel Nigeria, is inclusivity. We believe in touching the lives of members of the communities we operate in. And we will continue to provide the relevant platforms for all our critical stakeholders to succeed,” said Oparah.

Taiwo Obe, The Journalism Clinic’s Founder/Director said “This training platform provided by Airtel Nigeria will teach our journalists how to create multimedia stories that are intriguing, accessible, and easy to share on social media.”

The Airtel multimedia training is a four-city-four-week multimedia journalism training/road show powered by the nation’s leading telco, Airtel Nigeria, to change the face of digital media in the country.

The Airtel multimedia journalism training which is aided by The Journalism Clinic, will train 100 Nigerian journalists across four regions. Asides Lagos, other training workshops will be held in Ibadan (3-8 August); Abuja (10-17 August) and Port Harcourt (17-21 August).
