That's a wrap on the @UDUSOK Campus Journalism Clinic and MIL Youth Engagement in Sokoto State.
Over three days, students were equipped with practical skills in journalism ethics, investigative reporting, hyperlocal storytelling, multimedia production, and the use of digital collaboration tools. They also deepened their understanding of media literacy, fact-checking, verification, and responsible content sharing within today's evolving information ecosystem.
This engagement strengthened students' capacity to become informed, ethical, and confident storytellers and equipped students with the skills needed to navigate today's information environment responsibly.

It's Day 3 at @UDUSOK, with the UDUS Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Youth Engagement taking centre stage today, featuring conversations and training sessions centred on "Digital Responsibility and Youth Action in the Age of Disinformation."
The day began with a recap session, followed by opening remarks from Silas Jonathan (@Silas2Silas), Programme Manager, @OfficialDAIDAC, at @CJIDAfrica. He noted that student journalists are uniquely positioned to promote the responsible and verified sharing of quality information, both now and in the future.

This was followed by a session on understanding disinformation and how bad actors operate online, facilitated by Lateef Sanni, Communications Officer, @DubawaFacts, at @CJIDAfrica. The session explored how false information spreads, the tactics used to manipulate audiences, and why young people must play an active role in promoting responsible information sharing.

Silas Jonathan (@Silas2Silas), Programme Manager, @OfficialDAIDAC, at @CJIDAfrica, led a technical session on verification and responsible content sharing.
The session introduced participants to practical ways of identifying misinformation and disinformation, spotting coordinated online campaigns, and understanding how false information spreads quickly across platforms like WhatsApp, TikTok, and Facebook.
Participants also took part in the "Spot the Fake" group challenge, a practical session designed to test their verification and fact-checking skills.
Working in groups, participants analysed pictures, videos, and news reports to identify what was real and what was misleading. The exercise encouraged them to brainstorm creative awareness campaigns they can use to educate others.
