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.

Abstract

Public relations is a critical tool for guiding national affairs and addressing public health challenges. This study evaluates the public relations strategies employed by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for sensitization on COVID-19 prevention during the 2020 pandemic. The primary objective was to assess the extent, effectiveness, and scope of NCDC's public relations efforts in raising awareness and influencing preventive behavior. Adopting a cross-sectional survey research design, the study utilized questionnaires administered to a sample of 317 respondents selected through both random and purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, and the Extended Parallel Processing Model (EPPM) was employed as the theoretical framework. Findings revealed that 35.3% and 24% of respondents strongly agreed and agreed, respectively, that the NCDC deployed its public relations and sensitization strategies to a significant extent and in a comprehensive manner. Additionally, 62.1% of respondents affirmed the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing public awareness and behavior change, contributing to the flattening of the COVID-19 curve, particularly in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)—a high-risk area due to its exposure to travel-related transmission. The study concludes that public relations played a pivotal role in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 and recommends the continuous engagement of an active and well-trained public relations department at both national and state levels of the NCDC. Sustained communication efforts beyond health crises are essential to maintaining public trust and preparedness.

Abstract

This study assesses community relations strategies and their impact on rural development in Nasarawa State and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. Utilizing a survey research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to a sample of 410 respondents. The findings reveal that two-way communication and the sponsorship of community development projects, such as schools, hospitals, and roads are the most prominent community relations strategies employed by public and private organizations in the region. These strategies have proven effective in strengthening the relationship between organizations and their host communities. The study concludes that community relations are essential in fostering mutual understanding and cooperation, thereby contributing significantly to rural development. It recommends that organizations adopt a participatory and two-way communication approach when designing and implementing community relations programs. Additionally, the sustainability and maintenance of community projects should be prioritized to preserve community trust. Finally, the study emphasizes that community relations should be proactive rather than reactive, aiming to prevent conflict and promote long-term, harmonious engagement between organizations and rural communities.

Abstract

This study assesses the effectiveness of select PRTVC radio jingles in promoting peaceful co-existence among residents of Plateau State, Nigeria. Guided by Social Judgement Theory, the research sought to (1) determine the role of radio jingles in fostering peace and (2) identify the content elements considered relevant by residents in encouraging peaceful co-existence. Employing a survey design, data were collected from 400 randomly selected respondents in Jos metropolis, with the sample size determined using the Taro Yamane technique. The reliability of the instruments was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha, while Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and descriptive statistics were applied in the analysis. The findings indicate that while PRTVC radio jingles play a role in promoting peaceful co-existence, their effectiveness is limited by several challenges. The study concludes that for jingles to serve as impactful tools of peacebuilding, they must incorporate thematic, participatory, and unbiased content. It recommends stronger collaboration between PRTVC, the Plateau State Government, and other stakeholders to enhance peacebuilding initiatives, alongside improved content design for radio jingles to maximize audience engagement and effectiveness.
