    FG Promises Successful Hosting of UNESCO Global Conference in October

    FG Promises Successful Hosting of UNESCO Global Conference in October

    The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has
    assured of the successful hosting of UNESCO’s 2022 Global Media and
    Information Literacy (MIL) Week, scheduled for Abuja 24-31 October.

    The Minister gave the assurance in his speech at the opening session
    of the Media and Information Literacy Series of the 3rd World Higher
    Education Conference in Barcelona, Spain, on Friday.

    ”I pledge the commitment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria toward
    hosting a successful conference, and I solicit the
    support of UNESCO and partners, as well as governments and the
    organized private sector, in order to ensure a successful hosting.

    ”I also wish to pledge the commitment of the Federal Government to
    providing a smooth and safe environment for all delegates and
    officials, who will be coming to our beautiful country and its
    glistening capital city in October 2022 for the event,” said the
    Minister, who participated virtually at the opening session.

    He commended UNESCO for the good job it is doing in advancing and
    promoting the knowledge of Media and
    Information Literacy (MIL) in the world, saying: ”Evidently, the use
    of MIL in strengthening democracy and good governance, as well as
    creating a more stable and informed society, cannot be
    over-emphasized.”

    Alhaji Mohammed described the conference, which seeks to draw the
    attention of stakeholders to the relevance of establishing the
    International Media and Information Literacy Institute, as a
    significant milestone in the efforts of UNESCO and its partners, the
    members of the UNESCO-UNAOC Media and Information Literacy and
    Intercultural Dialogue University Network, to entrench MIL as a field
    of study.

    ”Please permit me to state that Nigeria identifies with UNESCO’s
    efforts in this regard and has in fact laid the foundation for the
    progress being recorded here today. You would all recall that Nigeria
    had in 2013 successfully hosted the first Global Forum for Partnership
    on MIL in Abuja. The event, tagged Abuja 2013, gave rise to the
    creation of UNESCO MIL Alliance and other initiatives on the
    importance of MIL for all and by all,” he said.

    The Minister used the occasion of the conference to announce that
    Nigeria is exploring the possibility of establishing a UNESCO
    International Media and Information Literacy Institute, in view of the
    importance that Nigeria places on
    Media and Information Literacy.

    ”To actualize this, of course we will collaborate with UNESCO. As
    Nigeria explores this initiative, we invite other countries around the
    world to partner with us to realize a UNESCO International Media and
    Information Literacy Institute,” he added.
