While in Journalism, the audience can experience content firsthand through AR/VR which is the next level for reporting and ensuring the right message is conveyed.
Inclusive Development
The dilemma of development not being widespread in our society has driven several untrue stereotypes on some professions in Nigeria. This is evident amongst school children who have come to associate skilled labour as a derogatory profession to aspire to. These skilled workers have to be included in the continuous growth evident in other sectors. This can be achieved when the government sets a minimum standard for skilled workers to follow, continuously upskill them for meaning results.
