In a bid to bolster its operational capacity, Muslim News Nigeria on Saturday, May 10, 2025 arrived in Ankara, Turkiye’s capital and the country’s second largest city after Istanbul, for a Social Media and Digital Journalism Training.
The training is being organised by Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) in conjunction with the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) Academy.
The training will last for a week – between May 12 and 16, and it is going to be headlined with a sightseeing tour of Ankara on Saturday, May 17.

The publisher is joining other journalists from mainstream media organisations in Nigeria and Mozambique for the training.
During the training on Social Media and Digital Journalism, the team is expected to learn from presentations on social media strategies and digital storytelling, combating disinformation and emerging threats, mobile journalism, among others.
Apart from its humanitarian efforts in Nigeria and many other countries of the world, the Turkish government has supported and continues to support human capital development through training programmes and donation of working tools.

The Publisher of Muslim News Nigeria, Rasheed Abubakar, in a remark, lauded the efforts of the Turkish government under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkiye Embassy in Nigeria, and TIKA, in contributing to human capital development.
