Abstract

Terrorist organizations in Nigeria, such as Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), have increasingly utilized disinformation as a strategic tool to manipulate public opinion and recruit members. This study examines the mechanisms, channels, and effects of disinformation campaigns, analyzing their impact on radicalization and recruitment. Using a qualitative approach, this research explores case studies, social media propaganda, and counter-narratives to assess the effectiveness of terrorist recruitment through disinformation. The findings highlight the urgent need for counterstrategies that involve media literacy, governmental intervention, and community resilience programs. The paper argues that disinformation plays a significant role in the recruitment strategies of terrorist groups in Nigeria, such as Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province). These groups use false narratives, propaganda, and social media manipulation to radicalize and recruit individuals, particularly in vulnerable communities. The paper concludes that disinformation is a critical tool used by terrorist groups in Nigeria to manipulate narratives, radicalize individuals, and recruit members. Boko Haram, ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), and other extremist factions leverage fake news, conspiracy theories, and misinformation to exploit vulnerable populations.

Abstract

This study deals with assessment of influencer marketing in the Nigerian public relations industry. This paper employed The Media Consumption Theory and Uses and Gratifications Theory (UGT). The theories of media consumption focus on the method and reasons media contents are engaged, such as the selection, interpretation, and response to media content, and how consumers are affected by media in the sense that social media platforms have revolutionized the interaction and sharing of information, facilitating global connectivity and nurturing communities. Nigeria's consumer environment is diverse. Two prominent trends are the middle class and increasing urbanisation. As more Nigerians move into cities and their incomes rise, consumer behaviour is moving towards modern shop formats. This is a reflection of consumers' desire for better products in emerging markets. Modern commerce channels such as supermarkets and shopping malls are growing in popularity. The changing needs of urban consumers for convenience, variety of products, and a more structured shopping experience are reflected in this growth. It can be conclude that Influencer marketing has become a powerful and indispensable tool in the Nigerian public relations industry, transforming the way brands engage with their audiences. Its ability to foster authenticity, drive consumer trust, and enhance brand visibility has positioned it as a preferred strategy over traditional advertising methods. While challenges such as fake engagement metrics, regulatory gaps, and audience saturation persist, a data-driven and strategic approach can mitigate these issues, ensuring effective campaigns.

Abstract

Public Relations plays a critical role in shaping the reputation and operational success of healthcare organizations. Effective PR strategies ensure clear communication, foster trust, and enhance patient satisfaction. This paper assesses the role of public relations in effective healthcare service delivery, exploring its impact on patient engagement, crisis management, and institutional credibility. Healthcare institutions operate in a dynamic environment where patient trust, regulatory compliance, and public perception significantly influence their success. PR serves as a bridge between healthcare providers and the public, ensuring transparency, managing reputations, and facilitating effective communication. This study examines the role of PR in healthcare and evaluates its effectiveness in service delivery. Public Relations in healthcare plays a crucial role in patient communication and engagement by establishing clear and transparent communication with patients. It ensures that healthcare information is accurately disseminated to the public and supports patient education campaigns that improve health literacy and encourage preventive care. Additionally, PR is essential in crisis management as it helps healthcare organizations handle emergencies such as disease outbreaks, medical errors, and negative press. Effective crisis communication mitigates panic and ensures that accurate information reaches the public. The paper concludes that public relations is a fundamental tool for enhancing healthcare service delivery. By fostering trust, managing crises effectively, and ensuring clear communication, PR contributes to better patient outcomes and institutional credibility. Healthcare organizations must invest in robust PR strategies to navigate the evolving landscape of public health communication and strengthen their relationships with the communities they serve.
