The Lagos SWAN Chairman in her lecture highlighted the importance of social media, adding that though an integrating weapon, it can both make or mar any society. While harnessing positivity, she said social media has become an essential tool to achieve utmost productivity in the society building and economic advancement.
If not harnesses intelligently, it becomes a thorn that might become difficult to eradicate except a strong adoption of emotional intelligence with great persuasion skill to change narrative if duly explore.
She noted that to every innovation and invention, there is usually a merit and demerit. Even the Holy Bible confirms this in the book of Ecclesiastes that there is time for everything under the heaven.
Oladunni said even though social media is one of the most powerful platforms to reach out to the larger heterogeneous audience across the world, she implores everyone to make it a responsibility to always make a good choice.
