By Luminous Jannamike, Abuja
The Centre for Liberty, on Thursday, advised the Senate to publish the report of its public hearing on the social media and hate speech bills and quickly kill the proposed laws in their entirety.
Members of the civil society organization, CSO, who gave the advice during a press conference in Abuja, said the demise of the two bills was long overdue, stressing that Nigerians had overwhelmingly rejected them during the public hearing.
While decrying the Senate’s delay in killing the social media bill, the group stated that citizens’ right to freedom of expression was key in Nigeria’s democracy.
