The Organised Private Sector of Nigeria has called on the Federal Government to put in place guidelines that would tackle the menace of disinformation on businesses. It said the need became necessary, as the impact of the threat has caused financial and reputational damages on businesses of their member-companies.
Ajayi-Kadir, spoke during a roundtable discussion on disinformation in Nigeria’s private sector, in collaboration with the Centre for International Private Enterprise , through the service of Nextier, an Africa-focused public policy consulting firm, to conduct a study on the impact of disinformation on Nigeria’s private sector companies.
Founding Partner, Nextier, Patrick Okigbo, in his presentation, said the private sector is highly susceptible to disinformation campaigns, resulting in loss of customer revenues and that the damage may linger even after the information is debunked. “These disinformation attacks, which are becoming almost daily, aim to engender a lack of trust in the targeted business. Nigerians create most of the disinformation while other Nigerians inadvertently disseminate them, not necessarily for malicious reasons,” he said.
