The minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, Tuesday, described those criticizing the bill as ill-informed citizens.
He said that those condemning the bill have not read it or do not understand the bills provisions.
Disclosing this at a press conference in Abuja, Lai Mohammed said: “Also, we cannot rule out deliberate mischief by some of those who have been portraying the Bill as a new source of conflict.
