In continuation of our commitment to developing media careers in Nigeria, Media Career Development Network is pleased to announce the publication of the 2023 edition of our annual Nigeria Media Capacity Development Report.
This is the fourth report since we started in 2021, documenting major trainings and capacity building programmes in the Nigeria media sector for the previous year, to draw attention to opportunities for journalists and media professionals to enhance their career.
This publication is a restatement of our unwavering commitment to promoting the need for conscious media career development for Nigerian media professionals through maximizing available resources and opportunities offered by media no-governmental organisations and institutions in the country.
In this year’s edition, apart from the regular highlights of programmes and activities of media NGOs and institutions in the country, quotes from interviews we have published on our websites and database of media organisations, we have a revealing report from a survey conducted on the state of media training in the country for 2023 which is important for journalists and media training organisers to learn from.
We also have an insightful interview with the Program Director of the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development, Mr Akintunde Babatunde, in which he offered detailed responses on emerging issues and opportunities journalists should pay attention to in 2023.

We commend media NGOs and institutions in the country whose continuous work toward enhancing the capacity of journalists in the country form the basis of this report and we urge them to devise new ways of engaging more diverse participants in their programmes and focus on new areas of need of training for journalists.
We also implore journalists and other media practitioners to make good use of this report which avails them the knowledge of who is doing what and what capacity development opportunity to look out for and maximise in their work going forward as many other journalists have done with our past publications.
We specially appreciate the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) for its financial support for this edition of the report and other organisations for their continued support and cooperation in various ways.
