Former Executive Vice Chairman of ExxonMobil, Mr. Udom Inoyo, has instituted a yearly award for investigative journalism in Akwa Ibom State.
Inoyo, who spoke during the state Nigeria Union of Journalists Congress, at the weekend, said: “I have thought of what I could do as my little contribution to NUJ in Akwa Ibom State with regards to this matter. Hence, I am rolling out capacity-building programmes for journalists soon.
Inoyo cleared the air while responding to questions during the Congress, where he delivered a paper entitled “Your Pen, Our Future”.On cultism among secondary school students in the state, he said it was important to speak out on negative manifestations of cultism. “ It is aimed at encouraging quality, factual investigative reporting in Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria at large. The prize money for the winner each year is N500,000. But the journalist must operate from Akwa Ibom State.”He donated five laptops to the NUJ, saying: “This will also be in addition to a purse to kick-start the capacity development programme. I do not walk in your shoes and therefore, cannot fully articulate your daily challenges.
