Abstract

The advent of information and communication technology (ICT) and the internet in Nigeria offer endless opportunities and also raise a lot of concerns bothering on cybercrime, cyberterrorism, information and human security. Recently, Nigeria has experienced an unprecedented surge in cybercrime, with potentially disastrous consequences for the country's socioeconomic and sustainable growth. Consequently, the complexities and horrific nature of cyberterrorism in recent times have increased proportionately which calls for prompt action. This study therefore, examines the effects of cyberterrorism on information and human security in Nigeria. Anchored on the technology-enabled crime and risk society theory and integrative literature review approach, the study revealed that, aside from the fact that information security is important for the continued existence of individuals, organisations and government in Nigeria, different terrorist and secessionist groups in Nigeria such as Boko Haram have been using the Nigeria’s cyberspace to mobilize and train its members, raise funds as well as propagate their nefarious agenda. The study however recommends among many things that, the Nigerian government should strengthen the Cybercrime Prohibition and Prevention Act 2015 while also ensuring the establishment of strong legal, institutional and security frameworks in line with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2341 (2017) and the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (GCTS) in order to fight cyberterrorism in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examines the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in modern journalism practice among practitioners in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja and Nasarawa State, against the backdrop of journalism’s global transformation from manual to machine-assisted processes. Anchored in Technological Determinism Theory, the research employed a descriptive survey design, with data collected through questionnaires administered to practitioners. The findings reveal that respondents possess only moderate familiarity with ICTs for journalism, with their understanding rated as “good,” reflecting an average level of knowledge. Furthermore, the adoption and utilization of ICTs in journalism practice within the study areas remain below average, limiting efficiency in news sourcing, processing, and dissemination. The study concludes that inadequate knowledge and low adoption hinder the full benefits of ICT in journalism. It recommends sustained orientation programs and digital innovation campaigns to improve journalists’ awareness and competencies, as well as stronger government support to accelerate the transition from analogue to digital journalism. Enhanced adoption of ICTs will ultimately reduce production costs and time while improving the quality and speed of news delivery.

Abstract

This study assesses public perception of broadcast media coverage of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) during the 2023 gubernatorial election in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Employing a survey research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to a sample size of 400 respondents, drawn from a population of 2,196,566. Perception theory served as the theoretical framework, offering insights into how the public interprets and evaluates media content. The findings reveal that 69% of respondents identified talk shows as the most prominent form of broadcast programming used in the coverage, followed by political music jingles. Additionally, the public perceived broadcast media to have employed mild and non-inciting frames and to have maintained objectivity in their reportage of INEC's conduct during the election. The study concludes that public perception of broadcast coverage was largely favorable, attributing this to the media’s professional and impartial approach, which in turn fostered public trust. It recommends that broadcast media continue to employ balanced and non-provocative frames when reporting on electoral matters. Furthermore, the government is urged to implement policies that ensure media security, particularly during the coverage of sensitive electoral processes, to sustain positive public engagement and trust.

Abstract

This study investigated public relations strategies employed by UNICEF in the management of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps in Maiduguri, Borno State, with the objective of assessing their relevance and effectiveness in addressing humanitarian challenges. Guided by Structural Theory and Stakeholder Theory, the research adopted a survey design and utilized questionnaires administered to a sample of 400 respondents drawn from a projected population of 4,143,100, as estimated by the National Bureau of Statistics for 2024. The findings indicate that UNICEF primarily relied on religious and community leaders to drive campaigns, followed by the use of social media messages, public events, financial aid distribution, sponsored campaigns, press releases, and press conferences. Among these, the engagement of religious and community leaders emerged as the most effective strategy. Nevertheless, the study highlights persistent challenges in implementing public relations approaches, particularly limited cooperation and support from government authorities. The study concludes that sustained government support in terms of resources and logistics is essential for effective public relations interventions. It further recommends the continued involvement of religious and community leaders as campaign mediators, complemented by capacity-building initiatives such as crisis communication training to enhance the quality of service delivery.
