The Campus Technology Life Initiative (CTLI) is partnering with the Campus Journalism Awards & Dialogue (CJA) to promote innovation, technology integration and digital awareness in campus journalism across Nigeria and beyond.
Speaking during the presentation of the partnership proposal, the national coordinator of CTLI, Amb. Kalu Chijioke Jnr. expressed optimism about the critical role of technology and awareness in shaping modern journalistic practices.
He emphasised that “the role of technology and awareness in journalistic approaches cannot be overemphasized.”
Amb. Chijioke further noted that this partnership will play a pivotal role in raising digital journalism consciousness and awareness, while fostering creativity and innovation among young journalists.
“At CTLI, we believe that through innovation and resourcefulness, we can develop a digital framework that promotes dialogue amongst young persons — not only in Nigeria but across the globe,” he added.
Part of the proposal for the partnership stated that the collaboration between CTLI and CJA seeks to: “Support student journalists in developing digital and storytelling skills; create opportunities for exploring the intersection of technology and journalism and build a network of tech-savvy journalists who can drive positive social change.”
Meanwhile, in recognition of this partnership, the Campus Journalism Awards & Dialogue has extended an invitation to CTLI to participate in its early morning workshop, designed to train and empower campus journalists from various institutions.
CTLI has also been invited as a special guest at the grand award ceremony scheduled to hold at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.
The collaboration further includes joint event promotions, expert contributions from CTLI representatives as speakers or panelists, and shared networking opportunities for students, journalists, and technology professionals.
Both organizations share a unified vision — to empower the next generation of storytellers and innovators who will leverage technology to amplify authentic voices and inspire positive change.
