Billionaire Ned Nwoko has announced that he is in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ban on Twitter.
“On the
current issue with Twitter in Nigeria, I wholeheartedly support the position of
the Federal Government,” he said.
Nwoko said
this while speaking at a June 12 lecture organised by the Correspondents Chapel
of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Abuja Council.
According to
him, social media needs to be controlled and regulated in countries.
“There should
be a measure of control and regulation for social media in countries where they
have a presence,” he said.
Further
giving reason for his support of Twitter ban in Nigeria, Nwoko stated 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.
