On the 26^th of March, 2018, the organization held an all day intense Media Awareness Training Workshop on Business and Human Rights Reporting after carefully selecting online and conventional media practitioners within Nigeria who are passionate about promoting the universal principles of human rights.

Article 12 of the Code of Ethics for Nigerian journalists commits media professionals to demonstrate “social responsibility” and requires that: “A journalist should promote universal principles of human rights, democracy, justice, equity, peace and international understanding”

At the end of the training, certificates were awarded to those who participated in the training by Global Rights Nigeria Country Director - Mrs Abiodun Baiyewu
