Owumi also encouraged media officers to invest in their personal development, improving their skills to better serve their clubs and communities.
The workshop featured presentations from industry experts, including NPFL Director of Media, Harry Iwuala, who discussed the qualities of an effective club media officer.
Multimedia journalist Andrew Randa shared insights on using multimedia tools to enhance the media functions of clubs.
Additionally, NPFL Head of Legal and Compliance, Uche Egbe, provided explanations on relevant codes and rules guiding the conduct of club officers.
Other speakers included Lazarus Ibeabuchi, head of public relations at StarTimes, the league’s official broadcast partner, and Andrew Ekejiuba of GTI Assets Management.
