The Federal Government has announced plans to tighten regulations on TikTok and similar social media platforms, stressing the need for more educational and skill-based content.
Officials say the initiative is aimed at redirecting youth creativity toward productive digital engagement, rather than the “purely entertainment-driven content” currently popular on Tiktok and other platforms.
The announcement has sparked widespread debate across social media, with many Nigerians questioning the government’s priorities amid persistent economic hardship and high unemployment.
While some users welcomed the idea as a way to promote learning and innovation, critics argued that the government should focus more on creating real-world jobs instead of policing online content.
