Katsina state governor, Aminu
Masari has called for strict regulation of the social media,
He said the platform was causing
serious damages to families, communities, leadership and the nation.
Masari spoke when he received the
Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, in his office.
He appealed to his ministry to
come up with operational guidelines and regulations to sanitise the social
media.
“The social media has led to the
dissolution of so many marriages, disharmony among friends and families. I
don’t think it was meant for this.
“The social media has become free
where anyone can do anything and get free with it; its abuses is becoming
rampant.
“Even renowned newspapers are not
left out with so many doubtful stories, the non-check is causing damages,” he
lamented.
Masari also lambasted
telecommunication companies for not securing customers’ lines well enough.
“My phone was once cloned and
used to send so many messages to unsuspecting people.,” he recalled.
Earlier, Shittu called for more
collaboration between the ministry and the state towards advancing the sector
which he said will be the next big revenue for both Katsina and the country.
