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.”
