NAPE trains journalists in energy transition

Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) has mapped out strategies to train media professionals covering the energy, oil and gas sectors of the Nigerian economy.

The theme of the workshop is: “Trends in Energy Transition and AI-Assisted Oil and Gas Reporting for Oil & Gas Media Professionals” and is scheduled to hold on Thursday in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Justifying the essence of the training, the President of the Association, Dr. Abiodun Ogunjobi,  said that NAPE’s rationale for hosting the workshop aimed at enriching the quality of the reportage of events in the oil and gas space by facilitating in-depth deliberate conversations to address and close the gaps and opportunities in interviews, messaging, reporting and overall coverage of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria by media professionals.

He said: “The oil and gas industry is highly technical in its processes and operations. The reportage of events in the oil and gas space by oil and gas media professionals must be delivered accurately, in context, and with the appropriate degree of detail.’’

The Publicity Secretary of the Association Mr. Austin Mgbemere, stated that NAPE will continue to partner with the press and other stakeholders in providing platform for learning, nurturing best practices, evolving new solutions, industry advocacy, and enhancing economic development.

The workshop is the sixth edition of NAPE’s workshops for media professionals reporting events in the oil and gas industry.
