The Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, in
collaboration with Open Society Initiative for West Africa
(OSIWA), will be holding a three-day capacity building
workshop for journalists covering the mineral and mining
sector.
The Media Immersion Workshop with theme: “On the
Road to Shared Mining Prosperity: Emphasising
Excellence in Mining Reporting”, is scheduled to hold
between Wednesday, May 3 to Friday, May 5, 2017, in
Lokoja, Kogi State.
According to a statement by the organisers, no fewer than
50 journalists drawn from the print, electronics and online
media, both government and privately- owned,
organisations would participate in the workshop.
“The workshop is a lead capacity building programme that
strives to stimulate and harmonize the working
relationship of the media and mining sector in achieving
the Federal Government’s economic diversification
agenda.”
“It aims to train, and in some cases retrain, journalists and
social media practitioners, and position them as sector
specialists in reporting and communicating developments
in the mining sector, as the sector continues to witness
growth.”, the statement said.
According to the statement, participants would also visit
some mining locations for on-the-spot assessment during
the workshop.
“The main objective of this workshop is to enlighten
journalists whose reporting focus is on the Mining and
Mineral Sector on the best possible methods of creating
well researched and engaging stories about the Industry.
Participants would also focus on the history of mining and
its future in Nigeria; analyse the various legislations,
policies and regulations guiding the mining industry;
identify and distinguish different mineral resources and
their geographical locations.
The permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Abbas
Mohammed, is expected to declare open the workshop.
It is recalled that the Ministry of Mines and Steel
Development, which recently unveiled a Mining Roadmap,
had in November 2016, in partnership with the Australian
Embassy, held a knowledge Sharing Workshop on current
trends in mining for some categories of workers in the
ministry.
