Background of the study
Digital political messaging has become an essential component of modern government policy campaigns, serving as a tool to shape public opinion and influence policy acceptance. In Kaduna, government agencies have increasingly adopted digital channels to disseminate policy-related messages, aiming to build consensus and encourage public participation in governance (Okoro, 2023). This study critically analyzes digital political messaging strategies used in a government policy campaign in Kaduna, examining how these messages are crafted, delivered, and received by the public. Emphasis is placed on the interplay between message framing, digital platform selection, and audience segmentation. The study explores how government communicators utilize social media, official websites, and digital advertisements to create a persuasive narrative that supports policy objectives (Adebayo, 2024). Furthermore, it assesses the role of interactive elements, such as real-time feedback and online forums, in fostering public engagement and trust. The findings are expected to shed light on both the strengths and limitations of digital messaging in influencing public opinion, contributing to the development of more effective communication strategies for government policy initiatives (Ibrahim, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Government policy campaigns in Kaduna face challenges in ensuring that digital political messaging effectively shapes public opinion. Despite significant investments in digital communication, inconsistencies in message delivery, audience misinterpretation, and the rapid spread of misinformation hinder the achievement of desired outcomes (Okoro, 2023). The complexity of crafting messages that resonate with a diverse audience further complicates these efforts. Moreover, the lack of standardized evaluation metrics for digital political messaging leaves policymakers with limited insights into the effectiveness of their strategies. This study addresses these issues by critically analyzing current digital messaging practices, identifying the factors that inhibit effective public opinion shaping, and suggesting measures to enhance message clarity and impact (Adebayo, 2024).
