Because of his belief that investigative reporting contributes a whole lot to our sense of national accountability, which in turn shapes the society, he is a student journalist who write and speak the truth using the modern tools.
He reports daily happenings with interest in governance and human rights as well as drawing new insights from normal events and day-to-day activities.
Alfred has authored several Investigative stories that have been published by several newsrooms among local and international blogs.
His keen interest is in human rights, advocacy for good governance and accountability of public officers.
The young chap also mentors and trains campus journalists across the country on the best practices of the profession. He hopes to further this with his project as a millennium fellow.
