The government has also ordered civil servants to avoid using Facebook and other social media platforms to comment on government activities, whether positively or negatively.

The circular dated December u 2020, and obtained by Daily Report Nigeria was sent to headmasters and principals of all public schools in the state by the Zonal Education Quality Assurance of the Katsina State Ministry of Education.

The circular referenced MOE/ZDKT/ADG/VOL.1 and titled, “Abolishing of Whatsapp group in our schools” was signed by one Muhammad Sada Dikko, for the Zonal Coordinator.

It reads, “I am directed to write and inform all the principals to direct the various Group Admin in their respective schools to wipe out the so-called school Whatsapp. The abolishing of this group becomes necessary due to the multiple postings being made, which create problems and insubordination between the school authority and its staff.

“Principals should also remind their staff about the government circular that prohibits any civil servant from commenting positively or negatively on government activities on Facebook or Whatsapp.”

The federal government of Nigeria has persistently made vocal it’s intention to clampdown on social media in recent times, a move the North has always supported.
