Lateef Fagbemi, minister of justice and the attorney general of the federation (AGF), has reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to restoring stability and growth in the country.
News About Nigeria reports that the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) spoke at the Abuja Social Media Summit on Wednesday.
Fagbemi noted that various reforms and policy directions introduced by the federal government are aimed at making life more comfortable for Nigerians
He, however, called for the support of all Nigerians for the Federal Government’s policy decisions.
“To enable government to achieve the desired better Nigeria, all hands must be on deck in efforts to transform the country into a greater nation devoid of bickering,” the AGF said.
According to him, social media platforms are buzzing in Nigeria because the government has guaranteed the freedom of speech.
“They have also become veritable tools that our teeming youths are using to showcase their talents and also to make money,” he said.
“But we must realise the need for us to at all times demonstrate responsible citizenship while this government has continued to provide responsible leadership through many social safety nets it has provided over time.
“Just as they say that social media neither sleeps nor slumbers, we must watch our word! Weigh it before you utter it. For, once uttered, it cannot be retrieved.
“No individual should use his freedom of speech on social media to infringe upon the rights of another, as it is fast becoming the order of the day.
“We must also be careful of what we say about our country. Political differences should not make us de-market. ”
He commended the organisers of the summit and challenged the stakeholders and participants to promote the unity and development of the country.
