For Ibadan, the 3-day intensive training featured: Personal Life Training; Business Seminar and Business Grant competition at Daylan Events and Conference Centre, Sango-Poly/Eleyele Road, Ibadan between 24th and 26th April, 2018. e Group with the best idea was selected out of 30 other groups and NBC promised to start up and/or sponsor their business proposals while 4 other runner up submitted their details, although nothing has been promised yet.

  • Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development
    Nigerian Media, Indigenous Languages and Sustainable Development Harrison and Rachael Lagos State University, Nigeria 1. Introduction The idea of a global village, the aspiration of man at this jet age, is aided not only by the Internet, but also more seriously by other types of media. Thus, man, through the media, can get what language form, fashion, music etc are in vogue. In little or no time through our listening to the radio set or watching the television set, we could get to do what others are doing. The media, therefore, become a fast means through which we could get anything promoted. The objective of this paper is to examine the role of the media in the development or otherwise of Nigerian languages. We trace such contributions to the developmental stage the country, at present, finds herself. Development in this study covers a number of concepts, which range from education, social, cultural, to indigenous linguistic maturity. For the study therefore, we examine the radio and television programmes of two media houses each from inception to date. We see how these organisations have consciously or otherwise promoted or chocked the language and consequently culture, through their programmes. We link such positions to the people’s mental and social developments. The study is anchored on Gerhard Leitner’s The Sociolinguistics of Communication Media. Geshard Leitner based his work on address media in the context of the communication dominion. He reveals what performance is, what parameters are that determine its norms. He equally looks at the functions the media aims to fulfill in the society.

    Lessons Learned and Impacts of the CPH Experience in Nigeria by William R. Brieger African Regional Health Education Centre Department of Health Promotion and Education College of Medicine, University of Ibadan Ibadan, Nigeria <[email protected]> and Peter Bolade Ogunlade Department of Sociology University of Lagos Yaba/Bariga, Lagos, Nigeria for the Basic Support for Institutionalizing Child Survival (BASICS) Project U.S. Agency for International Development Draft, December 2001 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The help of Samuel Akinyemi Orisasona in the Lagos office of BASICS was invaluable for ensuring that both logistical and administrative arraignments were made for the actual data collection in Lagos and for liaison with the staff in Aba and Kano.

  • How to Set up and Manage a Community Journalism Network
    HOW TO SET UP AND MANAGE A COMMUNITY JOURNALISM NETWORK Implemented by Adam Smith International 1 How to Set Up and Manage a Community Journalism Network Preface Nigeria is blessed with numerous media organisations (though analysts are still asking for more), from the print – newspapers, magazines and other periodicals to broadcast – radio, television, satellite stations and online media. As of November 2016, there were over three hundred radio stations, one hundred television stations, thirty Internet radio stations, six international broadcasters across Nigeria and still counting. There were also sixty-six newspapers and magazines across the country during the same period1 Nigeria also enjoys relative freedom of the press when compared with some other African, Asian, Caribbean or even European countries. However, ninety per cent of Nigeria’s media spread are in the urban centres, leaving the remaining ten per cent to the semi urban fringes, with virtually no newspaper, radio or television station located in any remote, rural village. The implication of this, is that news coverage, programme focus, analyses and general perspectives on issues centre on the urban and semi urban areas, leaving the rural settlers, who contributed a chunk of Nigeria’s population with neither a voice nor fair representation in the media. This is what led to the community journalism initiative. Enhancing Nigeria’s Advocacy for Better Business Environment Phase 2 (ENABLE2), as part of its intervention to improve the professional competence of the Nigerian media in the coverage of small business women and men 1 See list of Nigerian media organisations in appendix 1 How to Set Up and Manage a Community Journalism Network 2 and the smallholder farmers in the rural communities, embarked on this initiative.

  • Promoting the Igbo Language on Television: an Appraisal of Nta Enugu
    PROMOTING THE IGBO LANGUAGE ON TELEVISION: AN APPRAISAL OF NTA ENUGU By Okpoko, C. C. And Chukwuka, I. J. Department of Mass Communication University of Nigeria, Nsukka Abstract Language is vital in human communication and national development. It comprises anything that matter to self-definition, group identity, culture and values, hence, if a language is lost, the people are lost as well. There has been a speculation that Igbo language is gradually fading away, to the extent that the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Advisory Committee, on Language Pluralism and Multi- language Education, predicts that Igbo language and its culture may go into extinction and subsumed by other stronger Nigerian languages by 2025, if nothing is done. This study therefore is an attempt to examine the extent to which Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Enugu, a major television broadcasting station east of the Niger, is involved in promoting Igbo language to her diverse audience through her programmes. The survey research method, using questionnaire and interview as instruments of data collection was used in gathering data from a sample of 150 respondents in Enugu metropolis. The findings show that a number of factors, including lack of sponsorship and creativity, account for the ineffectiveness of the station in Igbo language promotion. The study recommends, among other things, that government in Igbo speaking states should not only sponsor Igbo programmes in the media, but also use the language as medium of communicating official matters like in passing of bills and law making (as done in some northern Nigeria states). BACKGROUND Language is widely regarded as a mark of ethnic identity: any society that loses her language, have as well lost her identity.
