The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, has described Nigeria as the freest country to live in the world.
The Minister stated this when he received the Finland
Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Jyrki Pulkkimen and his team, who were on a courtesy
visit in his office on Monday.
He also said that the President Muhammadu Buhari government
had not tampered with the freedom of speech or rights of individuals.
The Minister said the government was only sanitising the
media on hate speech and abuse of the freedom of speech.
He said this was not an attempt to clip the media. He said
the social media regulation was only to sanitised and not deny the rights of
individuals.
He said whatever is tolerated on the streets would be
accepted online.
According to him, the government, through the Ministry of
Information, had begun the fight against hate speech since 2017.
The Minister pointed out that if people were allowed to do
whatever they want on social media in a country like ours with diversity of
religion and political interests, there will be chaos.
He said the government will not slack in its quest to bring
sanity to social media.
