Why Freedom Of Speech Feels Threatened

Nigeria Daily

About

Nigeria operates under a democratic system where citizens are expected to enjoy fundamental rights, including freedom of expression, but recent events are raising concerns.

On this episode of Nigeria Daily, we examine these concerns, what the law says, and the implications for Nigeria’s democracy.
