Background of the Study
Digital political content plays a crucial role in shaping civic participation by disseminating information, stimulating public debate, and mobilizing community action. In Lagos, a political awareness campaign has harnessed the power of digital media to engage citizens and promote informed civic participation. This study examines how various forms of digital content—including infographics, video messages, and interactive posts—affect public awareness and participation in civic activities (Afolabi, 2023). The campaign’s objective is to educate citizens on key political issues, encourage dialogue, and drive collective action. By leveraging data analytics and user engagement metrics, the initiative aims to reach a broad audience and foster a more politically informed community. However, the rapid spread of digital content also raises concerns about the accuracy of information and the potential for misinformation. The research utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze content effectiveness, public response, and overall campaign impact on civic participation. Findings from this study are expected to provide actionable insights into the design and execution of digital political content that can enhance civic engagement in urban settings (Afolabi, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Although digital political content is increasingly used to drive civic participation, its actual impact on public engagement in Lagos remains unclear. Many political awareness campaigns face challenges in ensuring that digital content translates into meaningful civic action. The issues include information overload, varying levels of digital literacy, and the potential spread of misinformation, which can undermine the campaign’s objectives (Afolabi, 2023). This study seeks to address the gap by examining the effectiveness of digital political content in fostering civic participation. The research aims to identify key factors that influence public response and to determine whether digital outreach can effectively mobilize citizens for political and civic initiatives (Afolabi, 2024).
