FG speaks on plan to regulate social media
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that the Bola Tinubu administration spoke on regulating social media in the country.
This was revealed during a book presentation of ‘Nigerian Public Discourse: The Interplay of Empirical Evidence and Hyperbole,’ written by Babatunde Fashola, the immediate past minister of works and housing.
Tinubu, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, said it was high time federal lawmakers reviewed the existing regulations and improved them.
