In a decisive move to curb access to Adult content (pornography), the House of Representatives has ordered the total shutdown of porn websites across Nigeria, directing the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) to enforce an immediate ban.
The resolution, adopted during plenary on Tuesday, mandates Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block access to such sites as part of efforts to uphold societal values and curb moral decay.
Leading the motion, Hon. Dalhatu Tafoki, representing Faskari/Kankara/Sabuwa Federal Constituency, argued that pornography poses significant psychological and sociological risks while contradicting Nigeria’s religious and cultural principles.
