We have some takeaways!
For two days, selected journalists in Plateau State participated in a collaborative training with @jhrnews.
Supported by @CanHCNigeria through the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI), this project empowered participants to move beyond identifying misinformation to practical verification steps and the tools needed for conflict reporting without escalation.
In their words, we cannot wait to see their reports going forward.

“I learned to verify what my sources tell me and try as much as possible not to spread misinformation.” Felicity Asibi Akwa, a participant said.
Establishing the credibility of information, even with limited resources, and preserving neutrality when reporting can be life-saving in polarised environments.
This is the important work we're doing with support from the @CanHCNigeria and in collaboration with @jhrnews.

No story is worth your life, true. But anyone who may be said to have truly lived must have something worth so much to them that they won't mind risking their life to preserve or to pursue it. For @fisayosoyombo, that thing is truth-seeking using the fishing rod of journalism.
