Due to the free training in photography organised by a mobile phone manufacturing company, itel, about 100 students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, have benefited from it.

The participants in the two-day training held on the campus of the university were exposed to various techniques on how to use their mobile phones to take pictures that could be sold to interested people.

Mojisola Abdullahi said in her opening session of the training, an official of itel Nigeria, adding that the initiative was designed to expose students to how they can take good, sellable pictures.

Abdullahi stated that, instead of waiting for salary jobs, with photography skills, the beneficiaries can take good pictures with their mobile phones and sell them to people.

She said, “We have a two-days campus activities in Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU. Day one is centered around empowering students, allowing them to make more use of their smartphones to take good pictures.

“This is also one of our ways of introducing the new Itel S24 to the students. All we are saying is you necessarily do not have to wait till you get a white-collar job. Even when you do, there are other ways you can make money.

“A typical example is one of these things we have here. One of the pictures that were taken that we just enlarged, you can sell these to your students, your lectures. They are beautiful, they are something people will pay for. So why wait till you are being given money?”
