The training which started on Thursday was organised to keep participants abreast of industry trends, regulatory strides, challenges, and prospects for consolidating the gains in the telecoms industry, focused on issues such as data journalism and visualization, news gathering techniques, Nigerian Telecoms Industry overview among others.

The training also had several relevant resource persons lined up to address key topics.

During his opening remarks, Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs, at the Commission, explained that the training is in fulfillment of Dr. Aminu Maida’s promise on the assumption of office in 2023.

 He also explained that the training is so important because it provides an opportunity for media stakeholders with updated skills and knowledge of the industry, especially for media partners who are involved in bridging the gap between the various stakeholders.

 The training, he said, is another avenue to show the commissions’ transparency as regards its activities, especially as it relates to the happenings in the industry and what is expected.

The training also featured question-and-answer sessions from the participants.
