Our distinguished colleague, Senator Mohammed Musa (APC-Niger East) has sponsored a Bill ‘Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulations Bill 2019’ It has passed first and second reading and it is going after wards to committee levels whereby inputs and contributions from all stakeholders be taken and reflected.
Nigerians have express diverse opinions and reservations on the proposed bill, it is democracy in action,this ninth Senate which I am part of, is listening and your representatives are ready to accommodate all your grievances,I Senator Ibrahim Shekarau APC-K Central, will practically led in advocating an all encompassing and the best accommodating legislation for Nigeria and Nigerians in this regard.
In this digital era it is more advantageous for our nascent democracy to use all new media tools to fight the scourge of corruption, the menace of unemployment and improve our value system.Even the advanced democracies and knowledge based economies are finding it challenging to curtail disinformation and misuse of these tools, but we at the same time must devise ways to address these issues in the interest of our overall national security, social harmony and political stability.
I will not relent in advancing your development from every angle, it is our collective responsibility and will continue making efforts in entrenching good governance.
