Oghenesivbe said that at the end of the workshop participants will be able to effectively and efficiently create meaningfully and result-oriented content for the mass media, as we navigate into another complex electioneering era in our Democratic experience as a nation.
“Our amiable governor and consummate leader, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has again and for the fourth time approved the annual communication workshop for political appointees and selected media partners who have identified with the giant strides of this administration.
“The annual capacity building program has created jobs and self-employment for 450 previous participants and it is the desire of the governor and government of Delta state, to sustain the successes recorded so far by adding more beneficiaries to the pool of media and communication professionals, bloggers and social media influencers operating in the state.
