As Nigeria prepares to mark its 66th Independence anniversary, a coalition of organizations is set to host an intensive capacity-building masterclass for social media and content creators nationwide. UNIPGC Africa, in collaboration with JodelaTV and EduCore Impact Organization, is organizing the 2026 Social Media & Content Creator Capacity Building Masterclass.

Organizers state the workshop is designed to significantly elevate the skills, professionalism, and earning potential of digital content creators. It aims to equip Nigerian talent to compete effectively within the global digital economy.
Ambassador Jonathan Ojadah, Global President and Chairman of the UNIPGC Supreme Council, highlighted the initiative's goal to bridge the gap between creativity and structure in Nigeria's rapidly expanding creative sector. He emphasized that while talent is abundant, it's no longer sufficient for global competition. The masterclass will provide participants with technical optimization and narrative skills needed to build sustainable digital enterprises from Nigeria, adhering to global standards in digital governance and storytelling.
The training will delve into crucial areas such as content strategy, mastering platform algorithms, monetization techniques, securing brand partnerships, digital storytelling for impact, and professional ethics for content creators and digital journalists. Applications are now open for eligible participants, who must be active content creators, digital journalists, bloggers, podcasters, or video editors based in Nigeria with a verifiable online platform or portfolio of at least six months.
The Nigerian creative industry is overflowing with talent, but talent alone is no longer enough to compete globally. This masterclass bridges the gap between raw creativity and structural competence.
