DataPro, Nigeria’s technology-driven credit rating agency (CRA) holds its 2026 annual virtual training for media practitioners on Thursday.
The training programme began in 2021 as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to increase the awareness of the investing public about the value propositions of the Credit Rating Industry.
Participants in the training, which would be drawn from the print and electronic media, would include editors of national and online publications in the Capital Market, Financial Analysts, Communication Officers as well as Financial Industry Influencers.
The Executive Director/Chief Rating Officer of the company, Mr. Oladele Adeoye, said the theme of the training would be “Reporting Financial Analysis in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).”
“Financial reporting is no longer just about numbers, it is about trust, transparency, and resilience,” Adeoye said.
“In the age of AI, media practitioners must be equipped to interpret dynamic data and communicate it in ways that empower society,” he added.
A statement by Victoria Balogun, a Senior Financial Analyst of the company, said the primary objective of the training was to equip media practitioners with a practical understanding of how AI tools are reshaping financial reporting and analysis.
Also, she said DataPro, which organizes the International Credit Rating Webinar annually every October in continuation of its socialization efforts at promoting the Rating industry, is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
