Festus Iyorah

I am a Freelance Journalist, photographer, and writer currently living in Enugu, Nigeria. My interests range from photography to Journalism. I am also interested in writing, entrepreneurship, and education.

I kick-started my journalism career in January 2014 as a Campus Reporter with Nigeria’s The Nation newspaper, and in a month interval was selected as one of the pioneer Reporters of Connecticut based Youth Journalism International, United States.

From Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria, the 2015 general election to the Ebola crisis that hit Nigeria in 2015, I've written an array of stories for YJI since 2014.

I was a finalist at the Nigeria Writers Award as campus writer of the year, 2015 and also Mass Communication Student Association (MACSA), photojournalist of the year, 2016.

My works have also featured on different media outlets including Nigerian Tribune, U.S based PBS newshour, Florida based Fourth Estate and the African Exponent.
