There is no doubt that this is in line with my agenda in the area of human capital development, skills acquisition and vocational training”
“Social media has become very vibrant and almost taking over from conventional media. This training is, therefore, very germane as it will help you develop skills that will enable you to use social media platforms in a way that builds and enhances your capacity to create wealth. The training should provide you with the opportunity to take advantage of the different specializations in social media marketing, virtual assistant services, and digital communication services for self-published authors, among others”

With the advancement of technology most people now use a smartphone with either an iOS or Android enabled operating system. It is possible to earn money just by using your laptops and smartphone. People around the world are earning cash which is called, mobile money through different methods, from paid surveys, making money with YouTube and so on. I assure you all that this training will expose you to a wide range of opportunities available globally in digital media marketing” However, be mindful that as aspiring media practitioners, you should be equipped with a clear knowledge and understanding of what is right or wrong and be guided by laid down rules and regulations. I, therefore, urge all participants to seize the opportunity of this training to seek clarifications on all issues”

No sacrifice is too much in addressing the needs of our people among whom we live. I am sure that at the end of this training programme, participants would have gained something new that is capable of re-inventing their orientation in the use of social, digital and print media”
