On 3 December 2025, at the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) in Accra, an ILO-UniMAC partnership reflection and student certification event brought together faculty, students, and representatives engaged in advancing quality reporting on migration across West Africa. Organized by UniMAC with support from the ILO through the Integrated Programme on Fair Recruitment - Phase III (FAIR III), the event celebrated the journalism students who participated to the newly released Media anthology in Ghana-Nigeria labour migration corridor.

The ceremony highlighted the outcomes of the collaboration to institutionalise responsible reporting on labour migration and fair recruitment, and marked the culmination of an intensive collaboration between journalism students from UniMAC and Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) in Nigeria. Their collective work forms the latest edition of a growing series of cross-border journalism anthologies, with this one focusing on labour migration along the Ghana–Nigeria corridor, examining its human, economic, and social dimensions through a range of narrative formats.

During the ceremony, UniMAC students were presented with certificates in recognition of their participation, research, and reporting. In their work, they explored themes such as youth aspirations, the search for economic opportunity, migration decision-making, and the evolving nature of work across the region. Their pieces collectively illustrate the complexity of labour mobility in West Africa and the lived experiences that often remain absent from mainstream narratives. 

The ILO-supported initiative aims to strengthen journalism education through cross-border collaboration and co-production. For many students, the recognition symbolizes both an achievement and a commitment to strengthening public discourse on migration.
