New voice on air: Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq commissioned Emirate FM 98.5 Thursday, insight: Amid rising Naija misinformation (2025 elections spiked fake reports 40% per fact-checkers), stressing ethical broadcasting to safeguard peace in volatile North-Central.

Via Comm. Bolanle Olukoju: “Thriving media ecosystem via enabling biz climate—but shun unverified sensationalism eroding security.” Muslim Media Watch’s Alhaji Ibrahim Abdullahi: Landmark for education; wield for truth/peace/morals, not badlight projection.
