The data journalism clinic held in the Department of Communication and Language Arts at the University of Ibadan ended this Friday.

Over these three days, students went from not knowing anything about data journalism to sourcing and cleaning data to writing and presenting their own data stories.

We’re proud of how far they've come.

A very big thank you to our amazing facilitators and the Department of Communication and Language Arts at the University of Ibadan for hosting us.

Proud of every participant. Now go tell stories with data!

Day 2 of the Data Journalism Clinic at the University of Ibadan moved from sourcing data to analysing it.

Facilitators took participants through finding and evaluating open datasets, cleaning messy data in Google Sheets, and using AI in data journalism.

Day 1 at the University of Ibadan

Today, Dataphyte’s Data Journalism Clinic kicked off at the Department of Communication and Language Arts, University of Ibadan.

We began with a courtesy visit to the Head of Department’s office, where the HOD and other professors spoke about why this clinic matters for the next generation of journalists and communicators.

Data skills are no longer optional in the newsroom. They are how credible stories get told and how you stand out from the rest.

Atiku Abubakar has requested the Federal High Court to disqualify President Tinubu due to an alleged forged NYSC certificate. However, the new Electoral Act of 2026 has changed the timeline for raising such claims.

Key insights:
- Under the Electoral Act, 2026, an election result can no longer be challenged because the winner was not qualified to run due to a forged certificate.

- Forgery is still not legal, as the constitution still bars anyone who submits a forged certificate to INEC, but the fight may now have to happen before the election.

- Petitions filed outside the allowed grounds carry fines of at least N5 million for the lawyer and N10 million for the petitioner.
