Govt Officials Should Stop Using Personal Media Channels In Official Capacity by jarkbauer: 5:47pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
Many people may not know nor pay attention to it , but it is wrong for appointed or elected official to use his personal medial channels eg Twitter Facebook in their official capacity. With the advent of electronic mail and social media, Its role and usage in official capacity is still not well defined as most actor are yet to draw a clear line between official and personal channels of communication. For Example, Presidents, Presidents aids, ministers and aids Governors and their aids use emails to communicate and social medial to inform the public of government policies and activities. These actors represent institutions and for the purpose of continuity, reference, history, and archive should stop using personal channels for activities. For example in the last administration of Goodluck Jonathan,Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe Used their personal twitter, Facebook and other channels to report the activities of Pres. Jonathan. Reubenabati.com.ng replaced probably asorock.com or presidency.com.ng is there is any to document Nigeria's presidency. After his sojourn at the presidency he went home with most detailed online documentation of the presidency. What happens if Reuben Abati decide to shut down @abati1990? Sad to say, but same is happening in this current administration with the likes of Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu and many others. Hillary Clinton is having issue because she used her personal email while she was the secretary of State of US. It is high time we recognized government as a continuum, President Buhari is Not President of APC neither was President Jonathan that of PDP. Pres Obama has had 3 press secretaries Robert Gibbs Jay Carney Josh Earnes 1 Like |
