The Nigerian government has said that it is planning to
introduce a law banning all pornographic websites in the
country.
This was disclosed by the National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki on Sunday, January 25, in Kaduna.
Dasuki revealed this at the closing ceremony of a three-day
workshop on use of social media organized for Islamic
preachers, Imams and youths in the state.
The NSA, who was represented by the Minister of Special
Duties, Kabiru Turaki , said:
"Government is planning to ban and block websites that
inculcate negative attitudes in our children but we need a
law to support such move."
"Because without a law, people can go to court and claim
infringement on their rights," he added.
The workshop, aimed at correcting anomalies in the use of
social media, was organised by the national body of Izalatil
Bid'a Wa'iqamatis Sunna (JIBWIS).
The NSA also warned preachers to avoid making unguided
utterances against leaders.
