<v Speaker 1>It is no longer merely an accessory to life, he said.

26
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 1>From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online communities, you

27

<v Speaker 1>are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible

28
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 1>for this country. You are not waiting for the future,

29
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you are building it. Digital media is now a central

30
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change. It

31
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said his

32
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.159

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant against

35
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,

36
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Femi Bajabia Mila, praised digital media practitioners who have consistently

37
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on

38
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn

39
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanubu's leadership,

40
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 1>our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness.

41
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he stated.

44
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent

45
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>elections in countries like the U S and Germany underscore

46
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>how digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment

47
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>for shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a

48
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 1>fair battleground. As a public square, it is often chaotic

49
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and unregulated. Uses frequently disregard rules divisive content. In line

50
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.759

51

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.120

54
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>troops and enforce the ceasefire agreement. While waiting till August four,

57
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>the next line of action to be taken, which could

58
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.599
<v Speaker 1>be to evacuate away troops out of the area or

59
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.719
<v Speaker 1>continue the war. Based on the aftermath of the GBC meeting,

66
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 1>lead efforts in reconciling Cambodia and Thailand, two neighboring countries

67
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that were nearly drawn into a more devastating conflict. Adding,

<v Speaker 1>accept the First Lady as the mother of all in

149
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the nation, which could be recalled that earlier in the year,
