Daily Trust, the flagship publication of Media Trust Group; and Trust TV, one of its subsidiaries, shone ON TUESDAY as their journalists won the Wole Soyinka Investigative Journalism Awards.
Daily Trust and Trust TV journalists, Afeez Hanafi and Muslim Yusuf, emerged as the winners of both the print and television categories of the award — the most prestigious investigative journalism award in Nigeria. Hanafi won the print category based on his story titled: ‘INVESTIGATION: Journalist secures 2 jobs with Oluwole certificates’.
The runner-up and third positions in the print category were Kingsley Jeremiah and Ann Godwin, both of The Guardian newspaper.
However, it was a repeated fashion as no winner was announced for the radio category.
Also, no one emerged as either the runner-up or third position. In the online category, Theophilus Adeokun of National Record won overall with the story titled: ‘Dangote, in quest for cheap energy, pumps poison into Benue Rivers’.
The runner-up was Kunle Adebajo from HumAngle, and Isah Ismaila from HumAngle finished third.
