According to a statement signed by the Executive Director of The ICIR Dayo Aiyetan, the training is for journalists who have a niche in business and finance reporting.
Parts of the statement read: “The ICIR has in the last five years worked to build capacity for reporters in different areas of journalism including investigation, data, fact-checking, and multi-media.

Noting that the organisation is test-running with a pilot programme in three South-East states – Enugu, Abia and Imo, Aiyetan added that the training is a Nigeria-wide project.
According to him, the training will commence in Enugu from December 6 to 9, 2022.
“Candidates with a minimum of two years of experience working in business and finance beat in print, electronic and online media would be selected from the South-East states.
“Applications are therefore requested from journalists who meet the stipulated criteria.”
