Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) recently welcomed a delegation of media personnel from Local Government Areas across Lagos State for a day of engagement, capacity building, and dialogue centred on the role of ethical, accurate, and impactful communication in public service.
Speaking to the delegates, Mr. Frank Wiggle noted that Pan-Atlantic University leads by example, stressing that the institution’s values are demonstrated through its actions and deeds, not merely its words.
In his welcome address, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Uchenna Uzo, thanked the delegates for honouring the University with their presence. He reminded them that the world is looking to them to accurately convey what is genuinely happening across Lagos State, underscoring the weight of responsibility carried by local government communicators in shaping public understanding and trust.
Professor Uzo further noted that Pan-Atlantic University is deeply concerned with how information is communicated, insisting that it must be passed on ethically and with integrity. He added that, as part of the University’s strategic goals heading into 2027, PAU is committed to ensuring that every student who passes through its halls is groomed and recognised as a competent and ethical leader.
As part of the day’s programme, Master’s students from the School of Media and Communication led an interactive session for the delegates, covering key topics including community relations, crisis management and ethical communications.
The session was designed to equip the media personnel with practical tools and frameworks for engaging their communities responsibly and managing sensitive situations with professionalism and integrity.
Mr. Wiggle also took the delegates through the history of the University, sharing the story behind its establishment, its buildings, and the heritage behind the names attached to them.
The visit concluded with a tour of the University museum and a group photo session, marking a memorable close to a day of learning, exchange, and shared commitment to the values of truthful and ethical communication.
