Two journalists from Anisa Radio are on their way to Abuja Nigeria to attend a short course on Information Communication Technology. The two journalists who left Yambio on Wednesday morning include Joseph Ernesto Chakaya and Mr. Arkangelo Rangabia are expected to enroot to Nigeria via Adis Ababa the horn of Africa.
The Catholic Diocese of Tambura Yambio through the head of the Diocese Bishop Barani Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala has found sponsorship for the two radio journalists of Anisa Radio to attend a short course on information technology in Abuja Nigeria, with support from the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Abuja.
Catholic Television of Nigeria (CTV), is set to host the first meeting of African Catholic Television Stations. The meeting, which is the first of its kind in Africa is scheduled to hold at the CTV Office, 51 Mabolo Street, Wuse Zone 2, Abuja from 24th June - 2nd July 2023. The one-week training session is sponsored by Aid to Church in Need (ACN) an international organization based in Germany.
The reason for the training is to improve the quality and content of Catholic Television Stations in Africa. Six African countries are expected to participate in the training program. They include Cameroon, Ghana, Malawi, South Sudan, Uganda, and Nigeria, which have been specially selected for the pilot program.
The training is aimed at the high-quality production of television programs and collaboration among sister Catholic televisions in Africa.
It is hoped that during the conference, an association of Catholic television stations in Africa would be formed for the purpose of exchanging programs and knowledge among Catholic Stations across the African continent.
A team of trainers comprising German Cinematographers and Polish Experts would be leading the training course sessions, which are to be attended by 21 persons across the selected African countries.
Last year, eight members of CTV had a major training in Ghana through the ACN partnership.
The Director of Communications, Catholic Archdiocese of Abuja and Director, Catholic Television, Nigeria, Very Rev. Fr. Patrick Alumuku disclosed that the training sessions would also be attended by Mr. Mark Riedemann who will be the leading representative of Aid to the Church in Need.
Fr. Alumuku revealed that the lineup of events for the participants would also include a courtesy visit to the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, His Grace, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama.
