Nigeria Launches World's First Media and Information Literacy Institute in Partnership with UNESCO


13 years ago in June 2013, Nigeria hosted UNESCO’s first Global Conference on Media and Information Literacy in Abuja.  The theme was "Promoting Media and Information Literacy as a Means to Cultural Diversity."

It drew over 250 participants from more than 40 countries and birthed the Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media and Information Literacy.

On April 29-30, 2026 that legacy came full circle in Abuja when Nigeria launched the world’s first - and only - UNESCO Category 2 Media and Information Literacy Institute. 

It builds on the foundation laid in 2013 and positions Nigeria as a global hub for research, capacity building, and policy support, aimed at combating misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech.

Congratulations Nigeria 🎉
