Nigeria’s minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, has asked Nigerians to be wary of the antics of carriers of fake news and disinformation on social media following the confirmation of a coronavirus case in the country.
Briefing journalists on Friday in Abuja, the minister said that a partnership with Facebook has been reached to help check the spread of fake news on coronavirus, officially known as COVID 19.
“We know that at times like this, purveyors of fake news and disinformation usually ramp up their acts. We are therefore urging Nigerians not to fall for the antics of purveyors of fake news and disinformation,” the minister said.
“Fortunately, Facebook is working with us in this regard. They have asked Nigerians to report any false or misleading report on Facebook and Instagram pages so they can immediately bring them down.
“They have also assured us that they are taking preemptive action to remove any false or harmful messages about this epidemic and public health in Nigeria 24/7.”
He also said that “media agencies of the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, like the NTA, FRCN, NAN, and VON, have been directed to intensify their ongoing sensitization and enlightenment campaigns to arm Nigerians with the necessary information to stay well.”

FG To Relocate Prisons From City Centres After 105 Inmates Escape From Niger Prison
The Federal Government may relocate many prisons from city centres because of the growing urbanisation in the country.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, gave this indication on Thursday during a visit to the Suleja Medium Security Custodial Centre in Niger State, where 105 inmates escaped in a jailbreak on Wednesday night, after a rainstorm damaged sections of the facility.
The spokesman for the Federal Capital Territory command of the Nigerian Correctional Service, Samson Duza, said 119 inmates initially escaped but 14 of them were later recaptured by the security forces.
The FCT command of the NCoS is in charge of the Kuje and Suleja medium security custodial centres in Abuja and Niger State.
Speaking on the incident during a visit to the facility, the minister said, “The President has always talked about urbanisation eating into our correctional centres.
“You can look at the environment; it shows that we need to relocate a lot of our correctional centres and we need to relocate them away from city centres to create better space, security, and infrastructure.
“But as we have said, we are not here to make excuses. We are here to take responsibility. I want to assure you that we are talking to our sister agencies to make sure that we can synergize, collaborate, and ensure that there is a timely return of these escapees.

Organised Labour Reveals New Minimum Wage Not Possible By May
The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, on Thursday, frowned on the non-completion of negotiations on a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers and urged the Federal Government to fast-track action.
The TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo, who made the call while briefing journalists after the National Executive Council of the Labour movement, ruled out the possibility of having a new minimum wage in place before the end of May.
TUC also lamented that some states in the Niger Delta region that collect huge sums of money from the Federation Account among others had paid neither the wage awards nor palliatives to their workers.
He singled out Delta, Imo and Benue states as the worst culprits.
Lamenting the lukewarm attitude of some state governors in the payment of wage awards and distributing palliatives to the workers, TUC said, “There is no gainsaying the fact that today, we are facing economic hardship and based on this, at the federal level, we engaged the Federal Government as you are aware, from last year, which culminated in the signing of the communique on October 2, 2023.
“And after that communique was signed, we also empowered our respective state councils to follow up with their state government to ensure two things. One, put in place palliative. Palliative is for the immediate, palliative is not a permanent solution to the economic downturn that we are facing today as a country, palliative could solve immediate challenges, but it will not be able to meet them in the long run. Palliative cannot solve our problems.
“So that is why we were also yearning for a sustainable and robust solution, a solution that would meet the yearnings of the Nigerian workers and indeed the Nigerian masses because that is why the governments are elected from the federal to the local government level.”
