Education’s (NBTE) directive to unbundle Mass Communication programs

Kaduna Polytechnic has restructured its Higher National Diploma (HND) Mass Communication curriculum into three specialized departments: 1. JOURNALISM AND MEDIA STUDIES: This department focuses on training students in news reporting, writing, and media ethics. 2. STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES: This area emphasizes public relations, advertising, and corporate communications. 3. FILM AND MULTIMEDIA PRODUCTION: This department centers on film production, digital media, and multimedia storytelling. This initiative aims to provide students with specialized skills tailored to specific sectors of the communication industry, enhancing their employability and expertise. The unbundling process aligns with NBTE’s broader strategy to update curricula in response to evolving industry demands.

Isak in 'red-hot form' -have Newcastle joined title race? Life could hardly be much better for Newcastle fans right now.The Magpies are on a club record-equalling nine-match winning run in all competitions, they have one of the hottest strikers in world football at their disposal in Alexander Isak, and they are back in the top four of the Premier League for the first time since September.In-form Isak became the first Newcastle player to score in eight successive Premier League games in Wednesday's comfortable win over Wolves, netting either side of half-time before teeing up Anthony Gordon for the Magpies' third of the night.Their latest triumph lifts Eddie Howe's side three points above champions Manchester City and nine behind Premier League leaders Liverpool - albeit having played a game more. And when asked if Newcastle were now in the Premier League title race, former Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer was adamant they were."No, it's not," Shearer told Match of the Day when asked if the Reds' advantage was insurmountable. 'The form that they [Newcastle] are in, the way they are looking-they are defensively solid, keeping clean sheets. There is no doubt that they have got the system working."And with [Alexander Isak] up front, you've got a chance."So, could Newcastle realistically challenge for the title?No one is in better form than Howe's side and history shows it can be done.Arsenal have overcome the biggest points gap to win the Premier League title, in 1997-98. At the end of December they were 13 points behind Manchester United, albeit with a game in hand.Manchester United overcame 12-point deficits in 1992-93 and 1995-96. The latter was after 23 games, but they went on to finish four points ahead of Newcastle. Having said all that, it would take a dramatic slip up in form from Liverpool for Newcastle to overhaul them, with data experts Opta giving the Magpies just a 0.1% chance of winning the league."Newcastle keep getting better and better, former Arsenal defender Martin Keown told TNT Sports. "They can't stop scoring goals and Isak is amazing.'Their story keeps building."
