The International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR) says 15 Nigerian journalists will participate in the second phase of its investigative journalism training.
The programme tagged ‘Open Contracting Reporting Project (OCRP)’ will hold in Abuja between July 4 and July 7, 2017.
Dayo Aiyetan, executive director of ICIR, said the participants were selected from about 80 entries received, following a call for application rolled out on May 17.
According to him, the application required candidates to upload links of investigative stories they had previously done in addition to stating why they needed the training.
The first phase of the training, for Abuja – based journalists, was held in April.
The second phase will bring together journalists from print, electronic and online media across the country.
“The selected journalists will partake in a three – day capacity building workshop to be held in Abuja and they would subsequently undertake a three – day hands – on internship with the PPDC,” Aiyetan said in a statement obtained by TheCable.
“The third stage of programme will see the ICIR and appointed mentors working with the journalists to produce investigative content, which would be published by their news platforms.”
