Lagos, July 15, 2025 – Polaris Bank is to host the 2025 edition of its Annual Media Capacity Seminar on July 17, 2025.
This year’s seminar, with the theme “Empowering Journalists in the Digital Age: Storytelling, Tools & Transformation”, will feature two distinguished facilitators – Taiwo Obe, the Founder and Director of Journalism Clinic, and Abayomi Adisa, a Senior Journalist with the BBC.
Now in its 11th year, Polaris Bank’s media capacity seminar has grown into a flagship media education initiative supporting journalism excellence and professional development across Nigeria.
