Society of Digital Newspaper Owners of Nigeria, SDNON, would be holding the second edition of its annual summit on the 28th of October, 2022 at the prestigious Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
In
a statement signed by the organising committee and made available to the media,
SDNON Summit 2.0 will be focusing the effect of digital news reporting on
national security and the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria.
The
former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, as the keynote speaker at
the event would be addressing the theme 'Nigeria's Security Architecture And
Digital News Reportage - A Credibility Threshold For A Successful 2023 General
Elections', while the vice presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People
Party (NNPP), Bishop Isaac Idahosa, will be the guest speaker.
According
to the chairman of the event's planning committee, Adeniyi Ifetayo, the 2022
edition of the event promises to be an important talking point in the history
of the country as far as digital age of news reportage is concerned.
"The
idea behind SDNON Summit 2.0 is to bring together relevant stakeholders as far
as the 2023 general elections is concerned and critical players in the nation's
security apparatus to discuss on the way forward as the media play its role.
"Aside
from His Excellency, Otunba Gbenga Daniel as the keynote speaker, OGD, the other
important personality on our guests list includes a revered minister of the
gospel, Arch-Bishop Isaac Idahosa, who also the vice presidential candidate of
the NNPP," Ifetayo said.
The
chairman also revealed that other outstanding Nigerians also lined up as
confirmed panelists expected in order to have a robust discussion include Dr.
Cynthia Greg, Dr. Pearl Chidinma Ogbulu, Erelu Okin, the Commandant-General,
Nigeria Security And Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, the
chairman of House Committee on Education at the Lagos State House of Assembly,
Hon. Sanni Ganiyu Babatunde Okanlawon and the general manager of the Lagos
State Transport Management Authority, Bolaji Oreagba.
Others
are the editor of BusinessDay newspaper, Zebulon Agomuo, former commissioner of
Information in Edo State Prince Kassim Afegbua, the chairmen of Bariga Local
Council Development Area and Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area respectively,
Alabi Kolade David and Prince Usman Akanbi Hamzat.
Ifetayo,
therefore, called on media practitioners and the general public to be part of
the history making event.
"We
are hereby using this opportunity to invite the general public, particularly
our colleagues in the media to join us on this national discourse. It is
completely free.
"The
issue of security concerns everyone, there is no way we can have a successful
election if our security system is not looked into collectively. Electioneering
matters is not just for politicians alone; we are all involved one way or the
other.
"And
as the 2023 election approaches, the people depend on the media for
information. So come and let's talk Nigeria," the chairman concluded.
