The Head of Department Anatomy, Kaduna State University, Dr. Yusuf Nadabo has charged Journalists to give more attention to science reporting like they did to other disciplines, saying that reporting science is not difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cReporting science could be seen as the most difficult aspect of journalism but I can tell you that reporting science is not difficult. Reporting science entails verification of facts and figures, and the scientific terms must be properly used for proper consumption of the public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He made this charge while presenting a paper titled: \u2018The Imperative of Science Journalism\u2019 during the African Climate Reporters First Annual Conference on Climate Change at the Womenhood School of Health Science in Kaduna on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Nadabo who is also the Chairman of the Governing Council, School of Midwifery Tudun Wada, Kaduna South says: \u201cJournalists are not expected to be as diverse as science itself to report science issues\u201d.<\/p>\n

He therefore called on the Kaduna Journalists to show more interest in the area of science for rapid national development.<\/p>\n

While speaking, the Head of Department, School of Health Makarfi, Nurudeen Bello said that Africans are the victims of climate change due to the negligence of African community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica is now a dumping ground. In the last 20 years Africans were not known with cancer but today cancer is at its peak and it is because nobody cares about the effect of Climate Change.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany have argued that Climate Change is happening and is caused by human activity, a small minority of voices questions the validity of such assertions and prefers to cast doubt on the preponderance of evidence,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
