CSEA Research Associate, Augustine Iraoya represented the Centre for the Study of the Economies of Africa at the launch of the report: Tobacco Industry Capture of the Virtual Space in Nigeria organized by the Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa (CAPPA) on Monday, June 20, 2022 in Abuja, Nigeria.

The report examined Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and a host of other social networking platforms used by over 100 million Nigerians between 2016 and 2021; and found that the tobacco industry and its charity arms operated unchecked in the virtual space and used it to gain favourable public rating, while mentioning nothing about the harms of their products.
