School of Media and Communication Alumni hosts Larry Izamoje

Seasoned broadcaster, sports analyst and founder of Brilla FM, Larry Izamoje is the guest speaker at the first alumni seminar of the School of Media and Communication Alumni Association (SMCAA) for the year 2012.

Scheduled to hold on Saturday, April 28, 2012, the alumni seminar tagged, “The Impact of Sports Broadcasting on Sports Administration in Nigeria”, will showcase the broadcast of sports as a high impact communication and social mobilisation tool that can still be optimally leveraged to enhance the role being played by sports administration in nation building. 

Izamoje will speak to alumni and students of the School of Media and Communications, of the Pan African University, as well as invited guests at the seminar. The goal of the seminar is to strengthen the existing synergy between sports broadcasting and administration in the country. The SMCAA recognises the crucial role that sports can play in national development if propaganda and profiteering are eliminated in the corridors of sports broadcasting and administration.

Bayero Agabi, Vice President, School of Media and Communication Alumni Association, said that the seminar will provide members of the alumni with a platform to network and also learn from the repository of knowledge of Larry Izamoje, an astute entrepreneur and broadcast journalist, who has added a deep dimension to sports journalism in Nigeria. "We at SMCAA see the Alumni Seminar as a focal point for alumni to integrate what they have learnt from the School of Media and Communication and combine that experience with the knowledge of the guest speaker to be able to function effectively as professionals and entrepreneurs in the society." he said.
