The Women Radio Centre has selected 21 Nigerian female journalists from 1,552 applicants who applied for the second phase of 2023 women centric investigative reporting training.
The Communications Officer at the Centre, Ms. Elizabeth Aboh, said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday.
According to her, the centre selected only 21 journalists and journos from the 1,552 applications for the training.
“The 21 journalists and journos were shortlisted from 1,552 applications and selected from the six geo-political zones and they will be coached and tutored by industry experts.
“The second edition of the residential training will address under-representation and under-reported issues surrounding women.
“It is imperative that we commit to unearth and uncover those stories that affect women and girls, with the overall goal of amplifying the voices of women.
“The goal is to create a balance in the investigative gender gap by raising the next generation of female investigative journalists across the country,” she said.
She said that successful participants who satisfactorily completed the training would receive accredited professional certificates from Nigeria’s top-ranked institution in journalism.
