Adebutu moves to deepen journalism, unveils 350-seater auditorium at NIJ<\/p>\n

In a significant boost to Nigeria’s media sector, renowned philanthropist Sir (Dr.) Kesington Adebukunola Adebutu has inaugurated a state-of-the-art Media Resource Centre at the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Ikeja, Lagos, a facility expected to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s media sector and deliver economic benefits.<\/p>\n

This landmark facility, funded by Dr. Adebutu is poised to enhance the institution’s training capabilities, equipping students and professionals with cutting-edge resources.<\/p>\n

The 350-seat auditorium, founded in 1971, did not only strengthen NIJ’s position as a leading institution in Nigerian media education, but also, the new resource centre, alongside its existing ICT hub and studio facilities, positions NIJ as a regional leader, with the potential to attract international partnerships and support Nigeria\u2019s knowledge-driven economy.<\/p>\n

The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, a former member of the board of the NIJ, praised Dr. Adebutu’s contributions, noting that the centre exemplifies vital infrastructure improvements that drive economic growth<\/p>\n

With its enhanced ICT hub and studio facilities, NIJ is now positioned as a regional leader, attracting international partnerships and supporting Nigeria’s knowledge-driven economy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Adebutu’s visionary gift is set to transform Nigeria’s media landscape, fostering a skilled workforce, job creation, and economic growth.<\/p>\n
