The federal government has said it is closely monitoring the activities of the popular micro-blogging, Twitter, following the recent ownership change of the platform, Daily Trust reported.
Earlier, Elon Musk, American billionaire, took control of Twitter and introduced major changes.
The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, at a news conference in Abuja on Thursday on Thursday, November 10, speaks about the plans by the federal government on the development.
Lai Mohammed noted that although no intention to ban any social media platforms again, the government has resolved not to allow any social media platform to spread fake news, disinformation and hate speech.
According to Mohammed, the government has continued to engage positively with different social media platforms, including Facebook, Google (owners of YouTube) and Twitter.
“Let me say this: We are closely monitoring the evolving developments at Twitter. It has never been our intention to ban any social media platform or stifle free speech. Not at all. What happened in the case of Twitter is well known to all,” he said.
