The House of Representatives has called on the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to immediately direct internet service providers (ISPs) to block all websites hosting obscene and pornographic content in the country.
The resolution was passed on Tuesday following a motion sponsored by Hon. Dalhatu Tafoki, a lawmaker representing Katsina State. Tafoki argued that unrestricted access to adult content is having a negative impact on society, particularly on young Nigerians.
The House emphasized the need for stricter internet regulations to protect moral values and curb the spread of explicit materials. Lawmakers urged the NCC to collaborate with relevant agencies to ensure full compliance with the directive.
Details on how the NCC and ISPs will implement the order are expected in due course.
