Nigeria is making history and this time

it's in the fight against
0:03
misinformation.

The country has officially launched the
0:08
world's first international media and
0:10
information literacy institute in
0:13
partnership with UNESCO.
0:17
This groundbreaking initiative is
0:18
designed to help people better
0:20
understand the information they consume
0:22
every day, especially in today's fastm
0:26
moving digital world.
0:28
With the rise of fake news, deep fakes,
0:30
and online manipulation, this institute
0:33
aims to equip Nigerians and eventually
0:36
people across Africa and beyond with the
0:39
skills to think critically, verify
0:42
facts, and navigate media responsibly.
0:46
It's not just about education. It's
0:48
about empowering citizens to make
0:50
informed decisions and strengthening
0:53
trust in information systems.

Experts say this move positions Nigeria
0:59
as a global leader in digital awareness
1:02
and media literacy.
1:04
By working closely with international
1:07
partners, the institute is expected to
1:10
serve as a hub for research, training,
1:12
and policy development, helping to
1:15
tackle one of the biggest challenges of
1:18
our time, misinformation.

>> We must unite now. We must have one
1:40
army. We must have one currency. We must
1:44
have one foreign policy. We must be
1:48
united.
1:51
And I can hear the Osagia for saying I
1:56
do not want to be the leader of that
1:58
country. I simply want unity. And I'm
2:01
saying that we must leave here with one
2:03
united government.
