Abstract

In this age characterized and exemplified by a din of narratives jostling for public attention, this study sets out on an incisive exploration of perception management through propaganda with a specific interest in exploring the views of Nigerians on the controversial media portrayals by Ajuri Ngelale, former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu. Utilizing the qualitative research approach and extensive application of critical discourse analysis, the research gathers opinions from numerous groups to unveil the impact of Ngelale's 'alternative truths' on the attitude of the public and public trust in government. The conclusions consist of a pungent scepticism on the part of the public towards Ngelale's statements, as deceptive and misleading, hence promoting a disinformation culture. This loss of credibility not only tarnishes the reputation of the Tinubu administration but erodes the very fabric of Nigerian democracy. The voices of change call for a sea change towards true, responsible reporting, advocating a tighter system of vetting public spokesmen to restore trust and integrity. The stakes of this question go beyond political sloganeering, though, to the need of citizens to acquire judgment in the era of saturation with disinformation and to construct a narrative on the basis of truth and moral responsibility.

Abstract

This study investigated how digital media contributes to citizen-centred governance through effective communication strategies. It sought to examine the use of digital media for citizen engagement, evaluate its impact on service delivery efficiency, and determine its role in promoting participatory governance. The study was anchored on the Uses and Gratifications Theory and Participatory Communication Theory, which explain active media consumption and citizen involvement in governance processes. A mixed-methods approach combined surveys of 300 respondents with interviews of 15 e-governance officials. Findings revealed that digital media significantly improves citizen engagement through interactive platforms that allow direct feedback and dialogue, enhance service delivery by reducing bureaucratic delays and providing timely information, and encourage participatory governance as citizens actively contribute to policy discussions online. The study concluded that digital media has become a vital tool for advancing citizen-centred governance in Nigeria, as it enhances citizen engagement, improves service delivery efficiency, and fosters participatory governance, though its effectiveness is constrained by infrastructural, institutional, and responsiveness challenges that must be addressed for it to achieve its full potential. The study recommended, among others, that government agencies should strengthen their digital communication strategies to encourage active citizen engagement through responsive and inclusive platforms
