  "summary": "At the launch of the book 'Digital Shift in Nigeria’s Newspaper Industry' in Abuja, governors Abba Yusuf of Kano and Uba Sani of Kaduna, along with media experts and stakeholders, called for responsible journalism, stronger measures against misinformation, and clear guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence ahead of the 2027 general elections. They warned that hate speech, personal attacks, and the spread of unverified information could undermine democratic institutions and erode public confidence in the electoral process. Furthermore, Archbishop Dr. Sunday Onuoha, President of Vision Africa and former Special Assistant to President Olusegun Obasanjo on Privatisation, urged media organisations to develop clear policies guiding the use of artificial intelligence in journalism.",
