The Director, Department of State Services, DSS, Oyo State Command, Mr Rasheed Adelakun, has tasked the mainstream media to change the narrative generated through misinformation disseminated by bloggers and other unconventional media to the public.
Mr Adelakun stated this when the management of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, Ibadan Zonal Station, paid the command a courtesy visit.
The Oyo State Director of the DSS said the advent of social media had given non-professionals the platform to share information that could be detrimental to the unity and development of the country, hence the need for clarification by the conventional media.

Earlier in a remark, the Zonal Director, FRCN, Ibadan, Mr Dominic Mokikan stressed that Radio Nigeria would continue to reach out and synergise with partners in progress, including the Directorate of State Services, to help disseminate authentic information to the citizens.
