Bureau of Public Enterprise (BPE) said it is perfecting plans to draw up possible regulations for social media usage in the country to checkmate all manner of things being uploaded on the various platform of the social network without recourse to age and sensibilities of the users.
The Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), Mr Benjamin Ezra Dikki, dropped the hint while speaking to a section of non management staff of the organization during a workshop in Kuchikau, Nasarawa State
DigitalSENSE Business News learnt from the workshop that Dikki expressed his dissatisfaction over government laxity on the activities that are uploaded on the internet and assured of BPE preparedness to stem the tide by introducing stringent rules in the regard.
Confirming this in a statement sighted by DigitalSENSE Business News  and signed by head of the Bureau’s public communication, Chigbo Anichebe, the BPE boss was quoted as saying that “in line with its reform mandate, the Bureau plans to initiate necessary policies and the legal framework for the regulation of the Social Media in the country.”

The statement further declared that close the monitoring of the activities on the social media would assist the government in its determination to retain its services or otherwise.
... Making SENSE of digital revolution!
