On Friday 4th June 2021, Lai Mohammed, The Minister of Information and Culture, disclosed that the National Broadcasting Commission will commence licensing of all social media operations in Nigeria.

Lai disclosed this as the Federal Government suspended the operation of the micro-blogging platform, Twitter in Nigeria.

This is coming after Twitter deleted a ‘civil war’ post by President Muhammadu Buhari which the social media platform said violated its policies.

The Minister in a statement released through his Special Assistant on Media, Segun Adeyemi, said the measure is with immediate effect.
