The Chairman of Daily Trust Foundation, Alhaji Bilya Bala, has called for consistent training of journalists across Nigeria, saying that such would help them to be abreast and updated on modern trends.
He noted that Nigeria would be a better place if trained journalists deploy their expertise in their reportage.
Bala, who was represented by a Director of Media Trust Limited (MTL) and former Editor-in-Chief of Daily Trust Newspapers, Malam Mannir Dan-Ali, stated in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital during the opening of a three-day Regional Investigative/Multimedia Journalism Training organised for South East & South-South by Daily Trust Foundation, which was supported by MacArthur Foundation.
According to him, “Daily Trust Foundation believes that skilled journalists always remain relevant in anywhere or society they find themselves. This training was borne out of the need to keep journalists in Nigeria updated on modern trends.
“We have intervened in so many areas.Training is just one important arm of what we are doing. We believe that as journalists, if we do our bit, Nigeria will be a better place. We always try to improve the skills of our colleagues.”
