Last week, I had the privilege of having lunch for the first time (God's Grace in what I hope would be the first of many more to come) at the Aso Rock Villa Presidential Banquet Hall in the company of the entire @UNESCO @MILYouth led by my friend & boss @danwaeze #GLOBALMILWEEK

We appreciate #Google organising a #GlobalMILWeek event for the UN in NY, offering resources to prevent #misinformation through search engine. Great chance to emphasise how crucial it is for #UNFieldOffices to be able to access verified information in a variety of languages.

At today's #GlobalMILWeek event, 🇪🇺Amb. @SilvioGonzato joined high-level officials to discuss best practices for addressing mis/disinformation, noting official communications around new policies must also anticipate potential disinformation campaigns. eeas.europa.eu/delegations/un…

Day one summary of the discussions, panels, and interventions at the Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2022 hosted by UNESCO and the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture of Nigeria in Abuja. #GlobalMILWeek youtu.be/HOxbWLQ7TgA

"Climate change and MIL should be 2 priority areas in today's world. It is pertinent that relevant policies necessary to combat misinformation and disinformation around them are put into consideration" - Mr Cui Jianchun, Ambassador of PRC to Nigeria #GlobalMILWeek

Misinformation about crises facing the planet run rampant online. Science, solidarity and trust are vital tools in combatting misinformation. @UNESCO reminds all to #ThinkBeforeSharing. bit.ly/3D07pI8 #GLobalMILWeek

⚠️Not everything we see online is true. ❌ Don't share rumours. ✅ Choose content from reliable sources. #GlobalMILWeek is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of verifying facts before sharing content online. unesco.org/en/weeks/media… via @UNESCO

Good discussions with Mr Matthias Schmale, @UN_Nigeria Resident Coordinator, about the 11th #GlobalMILWeek and ongoing @UNESCO engagement towards #SpolightInitiative, Nigeria's accession to UN Water Convention and activities that will #TransformEducation in #Nigeria.

"I would like to announce a new partnership: Africa Check. With this, @Google is seeking actively to partner with new stakeholders by offering technical capacity building and new technological features in existing products" - @mattcooke_uk Head, @GoogleNewsInit #GlobalMILWeek
