Week 2 of the 2025 Cohort at the Centre for Faith-Based Policy began with a powerful first session led by none other than Seun Okinbaloye , renowned journalist and host of Politics Today on Channels TV.
He delivered a deeply insightful lecture titled: “The Media as a Non-Elected Policy Actor: Practical Strategies for Influencing Policy Outcomes.”
From the moment he began his lecture, you could feel the atmosphere shift. Participants minds were opening, perspectives expanding, a deeper understanding taking root.
With real-life examples, behind-the-scenes insights, and hard-hitting truths from the frontlines of Nigerian media and politics, Seun showed us how the media can frame narratives, shape public discourse, and influence policy decisions, without ever holding public office.
