I believe it is both fair and necessary for the government to regulate social media


"I believe it is both fair and necessary for the government to regulate social media to curb misuse and abuse. However, policy-making and regulatory measures in Nigeria should be grounded in reliable data. This approach ensures that the multitude of innocent Nigerians—who are simply striving for a better future and do not oppose the government—are not unjustly affected.

It is also crucial for the government to remain receptive to constructive criticism from opposition parties. Such feedback, unless it is unduly harmful, should be considered a healthy part of a democratic society. In their pursuit of policy formulation and regulation, authorities must be cautious not to conflate the voices of the opposition with those of the average Nigerian citizen.

Thank you."
