Digital media facilitates the dissemination of agricultural advice, skill-building programs, job opportunities, and financial literacy. This study aims to explore the role of digital media in alleviating poverty in Jada LGA, focusing on how these platforms can enhance access to resources that improve economic well-being and reduce poverty in the region.
