Attempt to regulate social media laughable, impossible - Adeboye

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A Adeboye has strongly disagreed with fleeting thoughts that point to the regulation of social media by the Federal Government.

He describes the attempt at regulating social media in the country as laughable and impossible.

He made this known on Sunday, November 2, through the Assistant General Overseer (Admin. & Personnel) and member of the governing council, Pastor Johnson Odesola, PMNews Nigeria said.

Adeboye advised that instead of regulating social media, the Federal Government should ensure that news shared, are genuine. He further compared Nigeria with the largest Asian country, China.

“The best the government can do is to ensure that the news being carried through the social media is genuine but to want to replicate what is happening in China here in Nigeria is laughable and would not be possible here,” Adeboye said.
