Nigerian Tribune's Collins Nnabuife Wins UK-MEET Fellowship

Collins Nnabuife, a senior reporter with the Nigerian Tribune since 2012, has been selected for the 2026 UK Media Excellence for Emerging Technology (UK-MEET) Fellowship. His selection was part of a competitive process that received over 500 applications from journalists and content creators in Nigeria and Ghana, with only 13 percent being selected.

The fellowship, delivered by Imperial College London through Imperial Global Ghana and supported by the British High Commission, aims to enhance journalists' capacity to report on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The in-country residential programme will take place in Abuja, where fellows will engage with researchers and participate in practical reporting sessions.

Nnabuife's background includes covering various issues like agriculture and public policy, and his selection reflects the growing need for specialized journalism in science and technology. Successful fellows may have the opportunity for a UK Knowledge Exchange in London in late November.
