Oyogist.com has learned that Nigerian Billionaire and Actress Regina Daniels husband, Ned Nwoko declared support for the Twitter ban in Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The Federal government has recently banned twitter as they claimed is a result of long term misdemeanor observed on the Platform.
Nwoko has announced his support while speaking at a June 12 lecture organised by the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Abuja Council.
“On the current issue with Twitter in Nigeria, I wholeheartedly support the position of the Federal Government.
There should be a measure of control and regulation for social media in countries where they have a presence,” he said.
Backing up on his reason for his support of the Twitter ban in Nigeria, Nwoko stressed that the social media platforms must pay taxes to governments and provide employment for some Nigerians for the over 100 million population that subscribed to their services.
The government also noted that social media platforms must register and obtain licences to operate in Nigeria as one of the conditions to be considered before the twitter ban will be lifted.
