The United States Consulate in Nigeria has announced that it will extend its partnership with the Media Career Development Network (MCDN) for a second year, continuing a joint effort to enhance journalism skills across the country.
The collaboration, which began last year, focuses on training programs designed to strengthen investigative reporting, media ethics and digital journalism. By extending the partnership, the Consulate and MCDN aim to broaden the reach of these initiatives and deepen the professional capacity of Nigerian journalists.
While the announcement did not specify the number of participants or the exact curriculum, the continuation of the program signals a sustained commitment to media development in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa.
Both organisations have highlighted the importance of independent, well‑trained journalism for fostering informed public discourse and supporting democratic processes in the region.
