stressed the need to entrench transparency, laws and regulations in social media usage to ensure a safer digital space devoid of illegalities and promoters of fake news.
Pantami, represented by the Director-General, National Information Technology Development Agency, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, said there should be consequences for anyone using social media to commit a crime.
He said the conditions Twitter agreed to before the government lifted its suspension would be extended to other social media platforms, including TikTok.
