The Nigeria Union of Journalists(NUJ), Lagos State Council under the leadership of Mr. Adeleye Ajayi, is channeling a lot of efforts in the area of capacity building for members.
As part of the Council’s commitment towards equipping Lagos journalists with the necessary skills to help them discharge their duties professionally, the Union is organising a 3-day workshop on Video Editing courtesy American Corner.
According to a statement, Ajayi noted that training and retraining of Journalists was key to the success of the profession.
Ajayi described Lagos State as the Centre of Journalism in Nigeria, and as such, its members must be seen to be working the talk.
