 The International Committee of the Red Cross ICRC is training over 150 journalists in Nigeria and safety teams for dealing with life-threatening conditions during their daily assignments. The organisation which operates in 100 countries is focusing on the enough ears in providing humanitarian support to those affected by armed conflicts. The training will include basic knowledge and first aid application to support journalists during coverage of events in Abuja. Daniel Edobo further explains the benefits of the training and why it is necessary to everyone. We believe that conflict reporters pass through a lot of challenges that have to do with getting injured, sometimes getting killed. There are so many platforms where you see journalists, the number of journalists that are killed within a year. So we deemed it very necessary to give our own support in this regard, to be able to train journalists on phase eight so that they would be able to take care of themselves and take care of their colleagues in the field, in the course of operations if something happens and they are injured or need some free hospital support to go to the hospital. It's important that we all learn first aid, the fact that first aid save lives cannot be overemphasised. We need to learn these skills, not just journalists, every household needs to learn first aid because sometimes at some point in our daily work, at some point in our lives, we need first aid, not to save our loved ones or our colleagues or ourselves. And this skill we have learned as a takeaway for the participants, we want them to teach their colleagues and families because it may just be them that have the knowledge that may be a casualty or a victim so that they will just be able to assist them. The participants at the training commanded the facilitators for the positive impact the training has added to their knowledge. It is a very, very nice training for me personally because I have benefited a lot. Before now I have not been exposed or have the knowledge of all that was taught but after the training I think I am very good at what we are taught. We learn a lot of things, we learn on how to place people in recovery position. Participants, everybody I meet was very nice and jovial. We were just like a family and as a team. We have a joyful training so far, so good. I think nothing was so bad. And CPR, I learned how to place people in a COVID position. I learned what to do to stop a bleeding, burns, scars and lots more and I was issued a certificate at the end of it all. It was an amazing experience and I am so glad to be a part of it.
