Journalists Receive ICT Certificates

Journalists in Rivers State have been urged to work hard to enable them take the profession to a greater height.
The founder of the Emma Anyanwu Foundation, Prince Emma Anyanwu, said this while handing certificates to the 11 journalists who successfully concluded their Information and Communications Technology programme in Port Harcourt.
Anyanwu said the ICT programme should act as a driving force to the journalists, hence the need to move from manual to digital reporting.
He maintained that digital reporting should be the quest of every pressman in order to add value and speed to their work.
He also revealed that the foundation will outlive him, adding that his family will continue to relate better with journalists in the state even after his death.
Anyanwu who is also the patron of NUJ, Rivers State Council, charged journalists to live upto expectation.
The Tide reports that the Emma Anyanwu Foundation sometime last year, offered ICT Scholarship to 13 journalists in the state with about seven staff of The Tide on the list.
Responding on behalf of the graduands, the Group News Editor of The Tide, Mr Nelson Chukwudi, thanked the donor and promised to make good use of the opportunity.
