The Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Mr. Chris Nehikhare who gave the charge while playing host to social media Influencers in the Ministry’s premises in Benin City, noted that social media Influencers have a key role to play in sensitizing Edo residents, especially the youths against the menace of cultism while decrying the spate of cult clashes in the State.
