Feedback

Ijeoma Okigbo

“The LIS Skills Lab has helped me have a second though in whatever decision or action I take as a journalist. Now, I know it is responsible and important for me to be factual with the news and not focusing on being the first to break the news - which might be fake in the long run.”

Opeyemi Imoru

“The 3-day workshop enlightened my understanding about journalism. It was an amazing experience to be trained by a seasoned journalist like Mr. Riccardo Romani.”

Tega Onojaife

“We have seen some improvement in some areas of women’s sport, but there’s still a long way to go.”
