During the training, the chairman of the Kwara State Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Mr Ayodeji Ismail, encouraged Just Event Online to continue upholding the ethics of journalism and to avoid fake and misleading reports.
He also congratulated the media organization for setting a good example and encouraged other media houses to adopt media advocacy for young people interested in journalism.

In his remarks, Mr. Isiaka Rasheed, the director of Just Event Online Foundation, said that the organization has been giving back to society through various initiatives, including scholarships and free summer lessons for students.

The participating schools included Pakata Secondary School, Barakat Community Secondary School, Ikhwanul Secondary School, Government Day Secondary School Alore, Best Heritage Basic School, and Al Ikhlas Secondary School, all located in Ilorin.
