Together w/ our partners @CJIDAfrica, @WANEPNigeria & @AREWA24Channel we officially launched the joint program on "Countering Disinformation & Empowering Democracy in Northwestern Nigeria," an important step toward promoting resilience & informed public discourse. #SocialCohesion
Today, CJID officially launched Countering Disinformation and Empowering Democracy in Northwestern Nigeria with support from the European Union.
The launch brought together government institutions, security actors, academia, media organisations, civil society groups, community leaders, and young people around one urgent reality: in fragile environments, disinformation goes beyond a media problem. It fuels fear, deepens mistrust, and can accelerate violence.
The 18-month intervention will focus on strengthening media literacy, fact-checking, OSINT, early-warning monitoring, community engagement, and local-language resilience initiatives across Northwestern Nigeria.🇳🇬
We are grateful to the @EUinNigeria for supporting this initiative, and @WANEP_Nigeria for their partnership!

Violent incidents against civilians are becoming increasingly prevalent across Nigeria. From recent cases in Kwara state to long-standing incidences in Benue, arson, banditry, terrorism and the likes are threatening the lives and livelihoods of Nigerians and the security of their communities.
Here’s a snapshot of reported violence incidents and civilian casualties in Nigeria in the first and second week of February, as tracked by CJID's National Conflict Tracker.
Every week, we will highlight the scale, spread and patterns of conflict across affected states in the country.
Stay informed. 📌

Can Nigerians truly speak their minds—online or offline—without fear of consequences?
On paper, freedom of speech sounds simple. But in reality, it’s a little more complicated. Nigeria currently ranks as an average enabler of press and civic freedom, with a national openness score of about 50.51%. That means while we can express ourselves, those freedoms are still fragile and uneven across the country.
It’s an important conversation to have not just about what’s written in law, but how it plays out in everyday life.
Let’s talk about it. Then, check out the Openness Index Report by CJID to see what the data really says.

Dear @gtbank , since you upgraded your app, I have been unable to access or do business with the app. I would appreciate if this can be rectified as I suppose the essence of the upgrade is to optimize customer’s satisfaction. Please treat as urgent.
I am currently seeking #students who have opted to pursue #online study programs with #universities and institutes abroad, rather than physically traveling to study overseas. I kindly request your assistance in connecting me with such students and spreading the word. Thank you :)
