Abstract
This study examines journalism training and mass communication education in Nigeria with the aim of pointing out the challenges that need to be addressed in order to improve on the quality of communication training and practice in the country. It argued that ever since the University of Nigeria, Nsukka pioneered journalism, in 1961 at the Bachelor of Arts (B.A) degree level, journalism and mass communication education in Nigeria have witness tremendous recognition in terms of the number of institutions and institutes that now run mass communication; and journalism training programmes in the country. The study noted, however, that the state of journalism education in Nigeria is in dilemma as a result of certain problems that have, besieged both the profession and its training institutions. The study concluded that there is need for the revitalisation of journalism training and mass communication education at all levels in the country in order to raise the profession to world standard.
