Senate: Anti-Social Media Bill Thrown Out


 
After passing through its second reading last year, the Senate has thrown out the Frivolous petition bill 2015 (SB. 143), otherwise known as anti- social media bill.
The senators took the decision following the recommendation of the committee on  Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters on the bill.
According to the Chairman of the Committee, Senator David Umaru (APC, Niger East), he said the bill was opposed by almost all stakeholders during the Public Hearing on it.
He therefore said, his committee recommended its withdrawal.
The bill sponsored by Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah (APC, Kebbi South).
