Time for FG to Take on Fake News Merchants, Rumour Mongers  

The Nigerian government must take a firm stand against the spread of fake news and rumours, especially when they target prominent figures like Mike Adenuga. False claims about his health have stirred unnecessary panic, so it is left to the government to address this spate of misinformation to maintain public trust.

Adenuga’s impact on Nigeria and Africa is undeniable. As the chairman of Globacom, he has contributed greatly to the Nigerian economy. Moreover, his entrepreneurial journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of Africa’s richest individuals is an inspiration to many.

So, Adenuga’s health is vital not just to his family, but to the economy of Nigeria. The stronger he is, the more people can draw from his experiences to put in more effort in driving various industries in the country.

Of course, Adenuga’s influence goes beyond business. His generosity and commitment to supporting the Nigerian people have earned him the respect of many. From educational initiatives to his contributions to telecommunications, Adenuga has proven that wealth can be a powerful tool for positive change.

The misinformation about Adenuga’s health shows that there is a larger issue of how false narratives can harm society. For a country like Nigeria, where rumours spread quickly through social media, the government needs to be proactively involved, stepping in to combat these damaging stories and promote the truth.

This should especially apply to people like Adenuga whose work ethic is legendary. Far from being a recluse, the man continues to work on projects that drive the country’s growth, proving that age and wealth do not deter his active involvement in national affairs.

So, the Nigerian government’s response to such rumours should not just be about addressing a single incident but creating a culture of accountability.
