The Federal Government, through the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, today decrying the unregulated use of social media and other digital platforms worldwide.
During the welcome session of the global media and information literacy week organised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, the minister noted the need for individuals to be adequately equipped with enough knowledge to manage the information at their disposal.
Mohammed said, “The theme of this year’s Global MIL week, which is ‘Nurturing Trust: A Media and Information Literacy Imperative’ is not only apt but also timely as our world and its leaders contend with the challenge of identifying what is true and what is false, in view of the use of media and information.
