The House of Representatives has directed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to order internet service providers in the country to block all websites hosting obscene and pornographic content.
The resolution was passed on Tuesday following a motion sponsored by Dalhatu Tafoki, a lawmaker from Katsina State.
Tafoki argued that unrestricted access to pornographic materials has a negative impact on societal values, particularly among young people.
The legislator stated that several countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East have enacted laws prohibiting pornography.
He also referenced warnings from psychologists and sociologists about the harmful effects of pornography, including its potential to promote adultery, prostitution, and addiction.
“Renowned psychologists and sociologists worldwide have issued strong warnings about the psychological, sociological, and mental consequences of consuming pornographic content,” he said.
Lawmakers supported the motion through a voice vote conducted by House Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas.
Lawmakers supporting the motion emphasised the need to protect Nigerian cultural and moral standards by curbing access to explicit content.
They urged the NCC to ensure immediate compliance by internet service providers and to impose penalties on service providers that fail to comply with the order.
