The Jigawa State office of the Department of State Security has expressed concern over the disruptive tendencies and threat to peace by political groups on the social media.

This was disclosed by the state DSS director, Mr Yusuf Isiyaku in a speech at a one-day sensitisation seminar organised for social media groups across the state.

The seminar held at Three Stars Hotel, Dutse.

Isiyaku urged parents and guardians to monitor how their children use the social media with a view to guarding against moral decadence.

The DSS director explained that an independent investigation by the Channels Television indicated that the Jigawa State has more followers in the government activities in the federation, “but in our own analysis the followership is not progressive but destructive”.

According to him, report from an independent body revealed that youths in Jigawa State have higher participation in political discussion on social media more than any other state in the country.

The Director added that, according to his department’s assessment, the participation was more destructive than constructive, putting the state in bad light.

“In view of this, we deem it necessary to come up with programmes to re-orient our youth on how to best use social media for their betterment and that of the state and country at large.

“We invited traditional and religious leaders, legal practitioners, security agencies to enlight the representatives of youth group across all 27 local government of the state on proper usage of social media in tandem with religious norms and culture of the society”.

Speaking at the occasion, Emir of Dutse Dr Nuhu Sunusi urged the youths to abide by the usage of decent words and respect to their leaders in any of their discussion or posting on the social media and other platforms.

While completely against destructive tendencies we must assert that GEJ gave Nigerians Freedom APC cannot take that away!!!

Those that only frequent NL may doubt that northerners are not many on social media. But if you visit the facebook pages of major Nigerian dailies and those of outside Nigeria, you will be amazed at the political prowess of northerners.
