Technical Advisor for the JICA project at the state-owned SSBC, Mr. Ohara Toru, visited Media Development Institute and interacted with the student journalists.

He visited MDI to have a practical understanding of the model of the media training being undertaken by MDI as JICA takes on a project to uplift the face of SSBC to a modern class standard. It’s a learning symbolic experience for all of us.
