FG plans to regulate use of social media in Nigeria

⁠

The Bureau of Public Enterprises says it plans to roll out policies and the legal framework for the regulation of the social media in Nigeria.



Director General of the privatisation agency, Mr. Benjamin Dikki, said this at a retreat for non-management staff of the organisation, according to a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday by BPE spokesman, Mr. Chigbo Anichebe.

At the retreat, held at Kuchikau, Nasarawa State, Dikki frowned on the unregulated posting of what he called offensive materials on the various social networking sites.

Dikki said this plan was in line with BPE’s reform mandate to initiate necessary policies and the legal framework for the regulation of the social media in the country.

He said, “As it now obtains, all manner of things are uploaded on the various platforms of the social media without recourse to age and sensibilities of the users. This is not good enough.”

Misplaced Priorities by the FG....

Kasikwa

I laugh in Hindi, make we see who go lose

Nairaland don enter wahala be that.. So i nor go fit curse some govt people and some Nlanders on this media be that. Fvck!

The one last thing for Nigerians to enjoy.
They are going to ruin it like what boko boys did to maiduguri

The children molesters are at it again.

I'm not aware of any government that has successfully regulated social media anywhere, except for China.

Is Nigeria becoming autocratic?

So now that BPE has nothing more to sell in this country, they're sinking to this low level.
News Flash for them-this ain't North Korea, this is a free country

Anyi.:

too much lies online. There is no absolute freedom anyway, post trash online in the us, you get sued big time. Make a google search for terrorist materials, the feds will pay you a visit.

berem: Am waiting for them on nairaland!

Sexkillz would enforce it here on nl

Haha

When is FG going to regulate Asari dokubo and other harmful ND groups who are posting harmful material on the Nigerian Media?

That would make it more interesting!

DAY DREAMERS!




mtcheew..... we need our freedom of speech jaweh

When did it become the job of the BPE to carry out such policies..am certain this man is broke and just wants more money..This is how it's going to pan out. He will write a very interesting proposal and make a good presentation to the FEC. Jonathan in his usual desperation to curtail the amount of insults he receives will immediately dull out huge cash to the BPE to actualize this however impossible project. Fast forward 5 years later this Benjamin Dikko will be a billionaire hustling for presidency or a senate position

**Now Playing Yung L' =Fever**

Usual dictatorial mentality. We are waiting for you guys.

Hope they do something to ETT crew and team Just passing on NL just tired of them.

They should regulate corruption first

Ha ha ha I laugh in WA-ZO-BIA!!
