The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, emphasized the critical importance of social media in national security during a meeting with spokespersons of organizations under the Strategic Communication Interagency Policy Committee in Abuja.
Ribadu highlighted the negative impact of social media misuse, stating that it poses both local and global threats to security.
He noted that the National Security Strategy (NSS), last reviewed in 2015, is currently undergoing revision.
As part of this, Ribadu urged media managers in defence, security, and response agencies to adapt their communication strategies to combat disinformation effectively.
