Members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ) have completed a week-long training in London designed to broaden their horizons and hone their skills.
Arik Air had partnered the association by facilitating their trip to and fro the United Kingdom (UK) with a 50 per cent rebate on tickets to all the journalists who attended the training.
The airline’s spokesman, Mr Banji Ola, said Arik is a progressive airline that is always ready to assist workers to build their capacities.
Held at the Goldsmith International Business School in London, the training had to do with writing for the web and effective news gathering from the web.It was organised by NAWOJ Lagos State Chapter. Classes were facilitated by several veteran journalists, including Audrey Laurencelle, Sala Kamkosi Banda and Ladi Tokosi.
Participants took time off classes to visit the Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK, Dr Dalhatu Tafida, who commended NAWOJ for seeking to improve the abilities of its members.
He said:“Most of the time, when you see Nigerians here, they are sponsored, but you sponsored yourselves to London, the home of journalism.’’
Led by Chair of NAWOJ, Lagos State Chapter, Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu of The Nation, the 28-woman team included members from both the print and electronic media.
