In an effort to boost its corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Nigeria,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, a global frontline player in Tax and audit services have
concluded plans to hold the second edition of its annual media capacity
development training seminar.
The event holding for the second consecutive year is aimed at developing and
further deepening the ability of the average business and economy reporter to have
an indepth understanding of the technicalities in reporting the various sectors of the
economy.
The event tagged PwC capacity enhancement workshop for Journalists 2015 is
scheduled to hold in Lagos on Friday 9th of October 2015 and it is scheduled to train
a minimum of 30 different journalists from 30 media houses.
Speaking on the level of preparedness for the event, Delia Asuzu, spokesperson and
image maker of PwC, stated that this year’s edition is targeted at Information and
communication Technology, ICT editors and correspondents as well as their
colleagues on the Energy beat. “We believe that the training program is a give back
to the Nigerian society, this is so because if you empower a journalist, you have
empowered the multitude of people that reads him or her, and the nation also
benefits from the accurate and precise dissemination of information.”
According to her this year’s edition of the program is not limited to just the print
media alone but it also brings together the online news publishers and broadcast
journalists from both the radio and television stations.
Also speaking, Yemie Adeoye, CEO D’Alphaxristi Ltd, consultants to the event stated
that this year’s edition is being supported by notable and credible organizations in
both the oil and telecoms sector. “These organizations share the same beliefs with
PwC and understands that CSR is not just an obligation but an integral and highly
pertinent operational module for every responsible organization”.
