Lai Mohammed Declares That If The Social Media Is Not Controlled, It Would Destroy The Government, Moves To Create Technology To Regulate Social Media

The President Muhammadu Buhari Federal Government, has on Tuesday, warned that Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder, if the issue of fake news is not urgently addressed, insisting on the regulation of the social media in the country,

The House of Representatives on the other hand, however, warned against clamping down on free speech and press freedom in the country.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, and the House Committee on Information, National Orientation, Ethics and Values, were sharply divided on the matter, today.

The Information Minister had appeared before the Committee to defend the 2021 budget proposed by his Ministry when the deliberation took place.

While responding to questions from members of the Committee, Lai Mohammed noted that the next war to be fought in the country, and across the world, may be fought on the social media, making reference to the ongoing EndSARS protests.

He stated that the government is not seeking to shut down the social media space in the country, because “the social media has come to stay”.

He, however, stressed the need to have a policy that regulates the social media, and check fake news and misinformation.

His words: “The biggest challenge facing Nigeria today is fake news and misinformation. Based on that, we dedicated an entire National Council on Information’s meeting to that issue, after which we launched a national campaign against fake news in July 2018.

“We said then, that the next war will be fought without a shot being fired, but with the use of fake news. We did not stop there. We went on a tour of all Media houses to solicit their support in the fight against fake news. We launched the campaign to regulate the social media, which was bitterly contested by the Stakeholders. We kept saying that if we do not regulate social media, it will destroy us. Social media and fake news will not destroy Nigeria.

“The recent EndSARS war was fought on social media. They mobilised using the social media. The war today revolves around two things. Smartphone and data, and these young men do not even watch television or listen to radio or read newspapers. You will be shocked that when you start arguing with your children, they will be quoting the social media. So, we need a social media policy in Nigeria and we need to empower the various Agencies, and we need technology to be able to regulate the social media.”

Members of the committee, however, cautioned the Minister.

A member of the Committee, Emmanuel Oghene, warned against any attempt to shut down the social media in the country, saying that, the action will be counter-productive, and would make the youths to believe that there is an attempt to truncate democracy in the country.

Oghene stated that it will be wrong to always look at the negative sides of the social media at all times, without mentioning the good side.
