The Association of Communication Scholars & Professionals of Nigeria (ACSPN), has secured a significant working partnership with the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID).
This was made known yesterday in a statement by the the General Secretary of ACSPN, Dr Solomon Oyeleye, who said the deal had already commenced with the sponsorship of 20 members of the ACSPN to the CJID’s week-long Media and Development Conference and AI and Journalism workshop holding in Abuja from November 25 to 29, 2024.
Dr. Oyeleye said the first set of beneficiaries was drawn mainly from institutions and media organisations in the North-West, North-East, and North-Central geopolitical zones, including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The next batch, according to the statement, would feature members from the South-West, South-East and South-South geopolitical zones of the country and would take place later in 2025.
The General Secretary expressed gratitude to CJID for the sponsorship, adding, however, that beside the sponsored training, CJID and ACSPN were also looking into research collaborations in critical areas of big data, elections, and good governance in Nigeria. He expressed delight that the ACSPN was leveraging strongly on the fruits of efforts by the previous leadership of the association in creating strategic partnerships with critical stakeholders in the media ecosystem in the overall interest of members.
