By Favour Bibaikefie
The highly anticipated Ijaw Media Conference is set to take place on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital.
This landmark event will bring together journalists, media practitioners, and stakeholders from across the Niger Delta to deliberate on key issues affecting the Ijaw nation and the media landscape.
The conference aims to foster meaningful discussions on the media’s role in preserving and promoting Ijaw culture and identity, the challenges faced by Ijaw journalists in the industry, and how media advocacy can drive development in the Niger Delta region.
Highlights of the event will include keynote speeches, panel discussions, and expert presentations by prominent media professionals and respected Ijaw leaders.
In his statement, the national president of IPF, Comrade Ozobo Austin, called on the general public to participate. He emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing the marginalization of the Ijaw people and advancing the development of the Niger Delta region.
The conference promises to be both enlightening and impactful, offering strategic insights and solutions to the challenges facing the Ijaw nation and the broader Niger Delta community.
