摘要

本研究旨在确定知情公众对尼日利亚冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行期间尼日利亚政府对新闻和信息的管理的看法。有意挑选的参与者参加了WhatsApp会议,以调查他们如何看待政府对大流行新闻和信息的管理;揭露政府在传播新闻和信息方面所做的努力,及其对尼日利亚疾病的整体管理和控制的影响。文章在分析中使用框架理论,认为政府对COVID新闻和信息的裙带关系和秘密管理对公众信任产生了不利影响,这被解读为一种通过沉默进行审查的形式,旨在阻碍国家问题的透明度、问责制和公民参与,这违背了尼日利亚作为成员的开放政府伙伴关系(OGP)的原则。文章重申政府需要建立尼日利亚人的信心并提升其整体形象。

Nigerian government and management of news and information on the coronavirus pandemic
This research is conducted to ascertain informed public’s views on Nigerian government’s management of news and information during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Nigeria. Purposively selected participants were engaged in a WhatsApp conference to investigate how they perceive government’s management of news and information on the pandemic; expose government’s efforts in disseminating news and information, and its influence on the overall management and control of the disease in Nigeria. Using framing theory in its analysis, the article argues that government’s nepotistic, secretive management of news and information on COVID adversely affected public trust, which is read as a form of censorship through silence designed to obstruct transparency, accountability and citizenship participation on national issues, contrary to the principles of Open Government Partnership (OGP) which Nigeria, is member to. The article reiterates on the need for government to build the confidence of Nigerians and boost its overall image.
