Federal government has trained no fewer than 300 new media influencers to enhance their capacity in promoting President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda in Sokoto State.
Minister of State for Works, Alhaji Bello Goronyo said the initiative stemmed from personal commitment to project the true image of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Goronyo spoke at a one-day capacity-building programme yesterday.
“This programme is part of our unwavering commitment to promote the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda and highlight the remarkable strides of Governor Ahmed Aliyu,” he said.
Goronyo said social media influencers play a crucial role in shaping public discourse, either by promoting or distorting democratic values.
“There is the need to bring them together and engage them meaningfully.
“The goal is to encourage accurate reporting, avoid misinformation and ensure fact-checking in their content,” he added.
The minister stressed that the Tinubu-led administration had recorded visible and verifiable achievements across various sectors including infrastructure, agriculture, security, healthcare, road development and youths empowerment.
He urged the participants to take full advantage of the training to sharpen their skills and positively project the APC-led administration.
Representing Governor Aliyu at the event, his Deputy, Idris Gobir commended the minister for his foresight and initiative.
Aliyu described the engagement as a vital step in strengthening democratic values and promoting government’s commitment to the people.
He assured the participants of Sokoto State government’s willingness to partner them in advancing the administration’s nine-point Smart Agenda. (NAN)
