The Niger State Government has warned content creators in the state against spreading misinformation and malicious reports capable of causing tension.
The warning was issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Obed Nuhu, on Sunday, during an activity organised ahead of the World Public Relations Forum.
Nuhu said some content creators were using their phones and internet access to circulate information that could mislead members of the public.
He said the state government was concerned about reports that could create unnecessary tension among residents.
The commissioner called on content creators to act responsibly and ensure that information shared with the public is properly verified.
He also urged members of the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations to uphold professionalism in their work.
The Niger State NUJ Chairman similarly called for responsible journalism and urged the government to engage mainstream media practitioners in disseminating credible information.
