An award-winning digital and traditional media program, Bodex social media hangout has been shortlisted for the African civic engagement summit in Kenya by the University of Georgia

This was revealed in a statement by the Convener of the platform, Bodex F. Hungbo made available to journalists.

“When the event started in 2019 in Nigeria, little did I know it will get an international recognition award to talk more of an international summit presentation. Though, the aim of the event is to contribute to the global objective of deploying social media for social good, and promoting culture and tradition in society. To encourage the efforts of ethical adopters also to recognize the impact of social media while celebrating, inspiring and motivating Netizens to ethically use social media in creating value,” she said.

Hungbo who just completed her civic engagement course at the University of Georgia, by African Civic Engagement Academy submitted her annual digital media program as her action plan for the course and as gracious as she has been, the event has just been shortlisted for a presentation in Kenya.

“I did my civic engagement course at the University of Georgia for African Civic Engagement Academy and graduated in December 2022. Before the completion of the course, we have been told to do a project plan around our course of studies and any jaw-dropping plan giving the wow moment for the Board will be shortlisted for the Kenya Summit 2023.

“Since the topics were about inclusion, education, media and journalism, governance, NGO. I decided to tailor Bodex Social Media Hangout to suit the topic which is media-related and to our greatest surprise, it got selected for the presentation.

“Out of 2000 action plans, our event is part of the 60 chosen for the summit to discuss our challenges, impacts and fulfilment to several other countries present,” the statement read.
