National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, has tasked spokespersons in the defence, security and response agencies to change their approach in engaging with the public and countering disinformation from enemies of the country.
Ribadu, who gave the charge at a meeting with the spokespersons under the umbrella of Strategic Communication Interagency Policy Committee on Monday in Abuja, also said they must be proactive and strategic in national security communication management. The NSA said they must also adopt a plan of action to engage Nigerians, build trust and counter violent extremism.
According to him, the spokesmen must also address the worrying use of the media and social media platforms to create a divide between citizens and governments at various levels. Other threats he said, were the preponderance of fake news, misinformation and disinformation. ”Across the world, we have also assessed the adept use of social media platforms by those who seek power to shape public opinion against citizens.
