Grantee Description
Chibuike has a background in health sciences as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. While in school, he was passionate about media and ICT with an early foray into photography, graphic designing and web designing. After graduation and mandatory one-year national youth service in a rural community, his interest in media developed, especially digital and social media.
This inspired him to venture into health communication to impact the health sector in Nigeria. He was motivated by the realization that to make a sustained impact, policy and systemic approach is needed hence choosing health journalism and used blogging as a platform to achieve this because he was already familiar with the tools.
•He co-founded healthnewsng.com with a colleague. Which helped him seek opportunities to enable him to develop more capacities in this area by volunteering for international organizations. He volunteered for the key Correspondents Network, a project of the HIV/AIDS Alliance UK as a Citizen Journalist for two years.
