AIRadio Ends One Month Intensive Training

-
Staff and intern students of Africa Independent Radio (AIRadio) have ended a month of intensive training. The training which commenced on Monday 21st November ended over the weekend at a colorful ceremony at AIRadio Office at Wilberforce.


The training brought together over twenty presenters, producers, reporters, DJs and intern students.

Station Manager of AIRadio, John Konteh thanked the BBC Media trainer Kelvin Lamdo for accepting to their request at a very short notice. He gave a five minute talk on rules for everyday life which emulated from a story he explained about a man that was trying to cut a tree.
According to him if they would have asked for two weeks training, it would have been short and they would have missed many things but the one month have created lot of impact to their staff.
“What we have done is that, the month training is to broadcast very well as broadcast journalists. Everyone committed themselves to the training everyday”
He stressed that the training was not meant for them to compete but to make themselves better. He thanked Africell MD Sahdi Al-Gerjawi for creating the platform.


Africell Managing Director and also Africa Media that owned AIRadioSahdi Al-Gerjawi explained how they started broadcasting which he said started from the Gambia where he was MD for eight years ago.
He congratulated the staff for the restless move they took for such training.
According to the MD, the day one stops trying, is the day one starts dying. He said short training is close to their heart, as he was planning to train 50% of Africell staff before the ebola struck the nation.
“I like to see the BBC style of reporting in AIRadio. We can be the best locally.”
He encouraged them to make sure they challenge themselves and do enough research, planning and analyzing.
“We don’t take extra advert; I will be very impressed seeing you working at the BBC not a radio that will bring you down.”

The MD also gave encouraging words to the staff that they can be successful at anything, reach and make money at anywhere.

BBC tutor Kelvin Lamin Lando spoke about the month training and the commitment AIRadio staff gave. He encouraged them to keep on the good work as they are evaluated for what they are doing and how the public want to feel what they have learnt in from the month training.

Frankvin Bob McEwen spoke on behalf of the male beneficiaries on the impact of the training to them while Mary Grace Turay spoke on behalf of the ladies. The participants explained to this medium about some of the things they have more knowledge on such as the Independent Media Code on radio broadcasting, pronunciations, packaging techniques and jingle among others.

The ceremony was climaxed with the distribution of certificate to participants.
