Background of the Study:
Digital media has transformed the landscape of civic education by facilitating widespread access to information and enabling interactive engagement among citizens. In Warri North Local Government, Delta State, digital platforms are increasingly used to educate the public on civic rights, responsibilities, and governance processes (Obi, 2023). This shift toward digital civic education empowers citizens by making governmental processes more transparent and accessible, thereby strengthening democratic participation (Chidera, 2024). Social media, online forums, and government websites serve as essential channels through which information is disseminated, prompting discussions on political accountability and public policy. Nonetheless, challenges such as misinformation, limited digital literacy, and uneven access to technology persist, potentially undermining the effectiveness of digital civic education (Amaka, 2023).
