“We will expand the relationship with the media to leverage new and exciting opportunities. We count on every important interface that the media provides for the NCC. We wouldn’t have been able to do this job and succeed without the support of the media. We always use the media to provide information to the public because you have what it takes to reach out. We don’t have that reach. So, we appreciate the very important work that the media is doing.
“The media organizations are at the forefront of providing information about where to find the knowledge. When you read the media, you come across instances of references as to where knowledge can be accessed and used for different purposes,” he said.
The delegation’s leader of Trust Group, Gwarzo, stated that the visit was necessary to congratulate the commission on its outstanding achievements and to reassure readers that Media Trust is prepared to deepen its relationship with the Commission through its publications as part of its support for the government’s agenda for the digital economy.
He also praised NCC’s accomplishments, including the successful rollout of Fifth Generation (5G) services, while explaining that the technology will also enhance the type of speed needed for the simultaneous multi-location printing of the that Daily Trust newspapers across its operations in several regions of the country.
Numerous Media Trust Group employees, including Nura Mamma Daura, Group Executive Director Finance and Corporate Services; Ibrahim Shehu Adamu, Chief Operating Officer of Trust Television; Naomi Adaghebalu Esezobor, Head of Business Development; and Benjamin Hon, Head of Market Research and Intelligence, accompanied Gwarzo to NCC.
