North's position on the Social media bill faces criticism and rejection.

Nineteen northern governors, traditional rulers, legislators and other stakeholders had held an urgent meeting in Kaduna to discuss recent EndSARS protest, Social media bill and insecurity in Nigeria. They condemned the EndSARS protest, commended youths in the North for not participating in the violence experienced in other parts of the country. On social media, the meeting took note of the devastating effect of uncontrolled social media in spreading fake news and called for major control and censorship of social media in Nigeria.

Criticisms and rejection have greeted the resolution taken on Monday by the northern leaders at the meeting. The leadership of the Arewa Youth for Development and Progress (AYDP) faulted the outcome of the meeting. Yesterday, he said the position of the leaders that social medial should be regulated showed the lack of commitment by northern leaders to development around the globe and their plans to keep the North and the country under perpetual subjugation.
