NAJA holds workshop on alternative to fuel after subsidy removal 

The Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA), an umbrella body for journalists in the print, electronic and online media platforms reporting the automotive industry in Nigeria, has fixed its 2023 training/capacity building workshop for August 24 in Lagos.

The yearly training programme, which is aimed at equipping the motoring journalists with the necessary reportorial skills as it relates to Nigeria’s automotive industry and globally, has two themes for the 2023 edition.

Chairman of NAJA, Mike Ochonma, in a statement said the two themes were chosen for the workshop because of their importance to Nigeria’s automotive industry.

“In order to equip our members with the necessary tool, we have as our major theme ‘Motoring Journalists and Role of New Media in Automotive Reportage’.

“Another crucial theme during the one-day event is ‘Natural gas (CNG, LNG, LPG) as an alternative amid fuel subsidy removal'”.

According to him, it is imperative for journalists covering the automotive sector to be in sync with latest happenings in the sector, especially at this point in time that many Nigerians are clamouring for alternative fuel following the removal of subsidy on fuel.

He said the event would be bringing together critical stakeholders with deep knowledge of the auto industry to help educate motoring journalists on necessary reportorial skills as it relates to the industry and globally.

He also called on stakeholders in the industry to support this year’s event.
