Energy Transition: CJID set to train Nigerian journalists, CSOs on minerals change

The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID), through its Natural Resource Extractive Programme (NAREP), is set to convene a two-day capacity-building workshop on “Constraining Opportunities for Corruption in the African Mining Sector” under the Powering Just Energy Transition (JET) Minerals Challenge project.

With funding support from USAID, the workshop will host 25 journalists from 10 media organisations and one representative each from five Civil Society Organisations in Nigeria.

In a statement issued by the organisation on Tuesday, a copy of which was shared with PREMIUM TIMES, the workshop aims to strengthen the media and CSOs’ roles in tackling corruption in the green minerals value chain and to address the challenges of access to information in the green mineral sector.
