Nigeria is seeking international support to establish a proposed Information Literacy Institute aimed at promoting digital and media literacy across the country. This initiative underscores Nigeria’s commitment to equipping its citizens with the skills needed to navigate today’s complex information landscape, combat misinformation, and foster critical thinking in the digital age.
The Information Literacy Institute would focus on building awareness around responsible media consumption, enhancing digital literacy education, and supporting fact-checking and verification efforts.
By appealing for global backing, Nigeria aims to attract resources, expertise, and partnerships that will strengthen the institute’s impact and outreach. This initiative aligns with global efforts to counter misinformation, enhance public access to reliable information, and empower communities with the skills to engage responsibly in digital spaces.
