NDLink is the go-to information hub for development news and resources in the Niger Delta. It is the only platform that specifically caters to the stories that drive development in all nine states of the region.
In a bid to remain fresh and relevant, there is a need to constantly be on the lookout for content on development issues ranging from climate change to agriculture, technology, and even eye witness reports. Thus, to fill that need, this is a call for volunteer community NDLink Champions who are willing to passionately use the platform as a resource to project their voices and share development information.
Who is an NDLink Champion?
- A community champion is a member or stakeholder of NDLink, deeply interested in the welfare of the community and its members and who actively engages with other participants in the community to drive the community forward.
- An NDLink Champion has positive interactions with other members and is able to create a welcoming atmosphere for all members to share their views freely and openly.
- They have expertise in a particular area, with a strong online following of their own.
- A major attribute of a community champion is the ability to be open and respectful, to appreciate the ideas of others and to look for input, not just from people they know, but also from other members of the community.
