The Director General of the National Information Technology Development Agency, NITDA, Mallam Kashifu Abdullahi Inuwa, has won the 2022 ‘Foreign Investment Network (FIN)-Forbes Outstanding Corporate Governance CEO’.

While appreciating FIN and Forbes for their award, an elated Kashifu Inuwa said: “At NITDA, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that we adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance.
“We have implemented robust processes and systems to ensure that our operations are transparent, accountable, and in line with our mission and core values.”

Meanwhile, the President of Nigeria Union of Journalist (NUJ), Mr Chris Isiguzo, has commended NITDA for commencing the New Year with the training of over 100 journalists in January 2023 alone.

Speaking at the end of Digital Journalism Workshop and Fact-checking in Port-Harcourt, facilitated by Image Merchants Promotion Ltd (IMPR), Publishers of PRNigeria and Economic Confidential, the NUJ boss observed that the media industry is facing major challenges due to emerging technology.

He said: “It is painful to observe that some journalists lack adequate knowledge on modern digital tools for media coverage and reportage while others excessively rely on unreliable and fake media platforms as sources of information.

“Similarly, the dearth of investigative journalism is also obvious where social media influencers claiming to be journalists become armchair reporters and critics by relying on hearsay on the internet to propagate fake news and hate speech.

“We are therefore glad that NITDA is organising workshops on digital journalism and Fact-Checking that would go a long way in enhancing the capacity of the journalists to professionally engage and deploy modern tools by broadening their skills in reporting and editing with the right knowledge of ICT.”

The training programme was held in Lagos, Enugu and Rivers. In 2022, a similar programme was held for journalists in Abuja, Kano, Kwara, Jigawa, and Kebbi States, among others.
