President Muhammadu Buhari has again decried the use of social media platforms by some Nigerians to propagate hatred between religious, political, and tribal groups.
The President, who spoke on Friday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja while receiving the leadership of the National Network for Community and Youth Development led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, advised sponsors of social media platforms in the country to take adequate measures to deny purveyors of hatred and division space.
President Buhari said that It is only through continuous dialogue and engagement that the menace can be stopped.
He also received a group of Traditional Rulers drawn from various oil producing communities in the Niger Delta region who raised a number of issues affecting their domains.
The delegation led by a former military administrator of the old Rivers and Paramount Ruler of Twon-Brass in Bayelsa State also wants the President to prevail on the state-owned oil companies to award pipeline surveillance contracts in favour of the host communities.
