Early education panacea to growing misinformation

The Executive Director of the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA), Ayisha Osori, says early education is a potent tool in tackling growing misinformation and disinformation in Nigeria.
Ms Osori, while giving opening remarks at the Kwame Karikari Fact-Checking and Research Fellowship, said building a questioning attitude in children would imbue in them a culture of seeking truth from early life.
The fellowship, now in its third year, is a brainchild of West Africa’s verification and fact-checking platform,
Dubawa, under the auspices of the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ).
The lawyer cum communication strategist also said inculcating fact-checking into schools’ curriculum would help children discern the rudiments of truth and spur them to verify every information they come across.
