 LAI MOHAMMED: SUSPENDING TWITTER WAS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST DECISIONS I MADE AS A MINISTER Lai Mohammed, former minister of information and culture, says the suspension of microblogging and social networking platform Twitter, now known as X, was one of the toughest decisions he took while in office. In June 2021, the federal government announced the “indefinite” suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria, citing the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”. However, in his new book “Headlines & Soundbites: Media Moments That Defined An Administration”, launched in Abuja on Wednesday, the former minister offered insights into how the decision to suspend the platform was taken. In chapter 14 of the 601-page book, Mohammed cited two reasons why shutting down Twitter at the time was a tough decision for him.

EID-EL-MAULUD: Imbibe The Virtures Of Prophet Muhammad ,Tinubu Urges Muslims.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Muslims in Nigeria and beyond on this year's Eid-el-Maulud celebration, charging them to live by the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.

The President, in a statement said beyond celebrating the day marking the birthday of the Holy Prophet, the period should be used for deep introspection and fervent prayers.

He said Adherents should make deliberate efforts to adhere to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. There are great lessons of devotion, perseverance, tolerance, humility and selflessness that Muslims can all learn from the life of the Prophet.

President Tinubu urged religious leaders to use the period to pray for the country and to admonish their followers to take the appropriate lessons from Prophet Muhammad's life in their commitment to the country.

The President has affirmed that Nigeria has arrived at an important juncture. While the government is taking all necessary measures to make the country secure and economically viable, stressing that they need the full support of the citizenry in the form of patriotism, patience, and prayers. 

He emphasized that the light is certainly bright at the end of the tunnel.

President Tinubu also urged Muslims celebrating the Maulud festival to extend their hand of fellowship to the needy and vulnerable in the spirit of the season while praying for the country and her leaders at all levels.
