The National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), in partnership with the French Embassy in Ghana, is relentlessly engaging students of the various Senior High Schools on issues pertaining to information disorder. Next to experience this insightful session were students of O’Reilly Senior High School located in Teshie within the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
Exposing the students to the various constituents of information disorder, the Greater Accra Regional Director of NCCE, Mr. Mawuli Agbenu, described misinformation, disinformation, mal-information, and mid-information as the new bane the country currently grapples with.
According to him, the session has become a necessity following the rifeness of information disorder in the media space, adding it serves as a platform to create awareness while enlightening the young ones on the need to stay alert and informed in order not to fall prey to the negative impact of information disorder.
Mr. Agbenu also revealed that it is part of a citizen’s responsibility to ensure that his/her conduct are geared towards fostering national unity, stating, “if your actions such as peddling false information goes a long way to fester disunity, then you will find yourself on the wrong side of the law.”
Touching on hate speech, he urged them to be tolerant and appreciative of the diversity of Ghana’s culture, while avoiding statements that may come across as denigratory to a certain group. He underscored that such acts are against the provision of the 1992 Constitution, which enjoins citizens to be respectful of the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of others.
Meanwhile, he called on the students to be circumspect when they receive information, advising them to peruse and subject the information to detailed scrutiny to establish its accuracy prior to sharing it to others.

Hello Nccegh Owner!
Eric here with a quick thought about your website Nccegh...
I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.
Like yours, many of them have great content.
But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.
I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.
Here’s a solution for you…
