Commenting, the head of the Mass Communication department, Vitalis Torwel, expressed his gratitude to the PTCIJ team for taking their time to train the students of the department. The professor said he hopes to see the impact of the training when the students produce the university magazine and when they handle programmes on the university’s radio.
In his response, Mr Adekunle said the PTCIJ team was in the university to train the students on ‘accountability journalism’ with the hope of contributing to the growth of journalism not only in BSU but across university campuses. He described student journalists as the ‘media of the future’ and spoke of the need to groom them from the university to enhance their hands-on capacities before they finally face the rigours of the profession after graduation.
“So far, we have visited 16 universities across the country, establishing campus journalism, mentoring, creating social accountability awareness and the platform for the students to practice; which has helped many graduates who are currently working with reputable media organisations across Africa and beyond,” he said.
Kudos to the PT apparatchiks! And CEO Dapsy the energetic Corporate boss. Salaam!
