INEC WANTS COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS AGAINST MISINFORMATION

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Saturday called for collaborative effort from critical stakeholders in fighting what it called the spectre of misinformation and disinformation ahead of the 2023 general elections.

The INEC National Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye,, made the call in Abuja, at a one-day INEC, Media/CSO interface on Identifying and Mitigating Flashpoints of Electoral Misinformation and Disinformation.

The commission noted that while the country continues to prepare for the 2023 general elections, the commission would rely on the support of all stakeholders and friends of Nigeria to overcome the identified challenges.

He noted that resort to misinformation and disinformation would not help in the growth and sustenance of the electoral and democratic process.
