Ahmed Musa
Youth Leader, Kano State
“I’ve attended many trainings, but the SPLIN Leadership Curriculum embedded within this program was truly unique. It bridged the gap between responsible leadership and credible media engagement — something our democracy desperately needs.”

Lilian Kaivi
Kenya
“What sets this program apart is that it doesn’t stop at teaching media literacy — it actively empowers leaders to use these skills in decision-making, public engagement, and advocacy. This is transformative.”

Gospel Amaliam
Journalist, Delta State
“Before this training, I often relied on headlines alone. The assessment tools and practical exercises taught me how to dig deeper, verify facts, and challenge bias in my reporting. This has greatly improved the trust my audience has in my work.”

Blessing James
Community Leader, Lagos State
“The Media Literacy for a New Generation of Leaders program changed the way I approach news and information. As a community organizer, I can now confidently verify sources before sharing, and I’ve seen this practice ripple through my network.”

Ken Ike Okere
Rector
“This crucial initiative successfully equipped participants with practical skills to identify and counter misinformation. The training model’s integration of leadership and fact-verification skills makes it a rare and much-needed resource for both journalists and civic leaders.”
