It is the first newscast contest we have organised and we are pleased with the distinguishing strategy, organisation and set objective. Number and quality of entries received could be better but we are confident that the culture of interest in the positive progress and excellence as well as hope by Nigerians would increase significantly in times to come.
The theme of the newscast contest as well as the newscast contest itself is very crucial at this time – particularly in the areas of building trust and professionalism in the media sphere as well as confidence in the abilities of Nigerians unto good and extraordinary works. Thus, from the entries, we are pleased that indeed, positive progress and excellence associated with Nigeria and Nigerians are evident even in 2019 and the awareness of this continues to grow and inspire us all.
We appreciate and congratulate the eight Nigerian contestants for the contest. We appreciate their courage, trust and hope in a greater Nigeria, their intellectual brilliance as well as their confidence in our execution.
