Governor Alex Otti is the special guest of honour for the event.

The chairman of the planning committee and former Chairman of the Organization, Comrade Ugochukwu Nwankwo told journalists in Umuahia that the theme was carefully chosen to align with the realities of media practitioners at the moment, where most are neck deep in the use of AI.

Also Speaking, the Chairman of the organization Chief Promise Uzoma Okoro said that this year’s training will be unique because it would come with a training session for both members, intending members and the public.
