He also pledged that Google would help protect Nigeria in the era of misinformation and fake news, and said his organization seeks to continue working with the Nigerian government.

Gingras said:

“Google has deep interest in Nigeria. We want to support the government’s efforts to create 1 million digital jobs. We have all the tools and capabilities to make this happen. We will also help to secure Nigeria and we have discussed that with your National Security Adviser.

“I came to Nigeria to learn. I am going back home very impressed with what I saw. You have very vibrant, creative and talented young people who are embracing innovation.

“We will continue to support your programmes to expand your digital economy.”

Regarding Google’s promotion of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and democracy through its platforms, Tinubu stated that freedom of speech and freedom of the press should not be hindered for the greater good.

The President said:

“It is in public interest to continue to defend free press and free speech. We are committed to supporting a free society.”
