The Two-Day Environmental Journalism Workshop will take place from July 17th to 18th, 2023, at the Dangote Academy in Obajana, Kogi State.
The workshop revolves around the theme of “Reporting the Environment for Sustainability.”
The workshop will be facilitated by renowned professionals who will engage with the participants to enhance their understanding of the common objectives of environmental reporting.
