Hauwa Bata

The Africa Conference on Development journalism 2019 held in kaduna was indeed great, encouraging and inspiring. It opened my eyes to different aspects of development journalism and how we can use that to attain sustainable development goals. The Nigerian population are looking up to journalists to break down all the technical jargons into something simple and make them understand how it relates to them. I made new friends, new professional contacts that are helping me become a better journalist. I recommend this conference to as many practicing journalists as possible, students of communication studies and those aspiring to touch lives.

It was an interesting and refreshing gathering with journalists coming from all over Nigeria. I recommend this conference to all journalists in Africa.
