The one-day workshop, themed “Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Journalism,” was held in Abuja and sponsored by the NNPCL-Chevron Nigeria Limited Joint Venture.
Speaking at the event, General Manager, Policy, Government and Public Affairs at Chevron Nigeria, Olusoga Oduselu, represented by Victor Anyaegbudike, described the media as indispensable agenda-setters and opinion shapers in society. He emphasised Chevron’s longstanding belief in human capital development as a key to organizational and national success.
“As members of the fourth estate of the realm, your role as agenda-setters and opinion moulders cannot be over-emphasised,” Oduselu stated. “We continue to partner with the media for the development of society… That is why CNL pioneered the Advanced Writing and Reporting Skills (AWARES) programme in collaboration with Pan Atlantic University, Lagos. Over 120 journalists have benefitted from the programme since its inception in 2014.”
He reaffirmed Chevron’s commitment to supporting Nigerian content development through employment and contract opportunities, stating: “Chevron supports Nigerian Content development by providing employment to Nigerians, and contract opportunities in all our projects up to an estimated annual average of over $1 billion.”
