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.
