PLAC calls for the immediate withdrawal and dismissal of the charges by the @PoliceNG against democracy activist, @sowore. We are particularly disturbed that the Cybercrimes Act enacted to address legitimate concerns such as online fraud, identity theft, and other cyber offenses is being weaponised and misused to target democracy activists, journalists, and civil society actors. This portends a dangerous trend that threatens legitimate dissent, the rule of law and the space for civic engagement in Nigeria.

See full statement below.

President @officialABAT has just signed the Students Loans (Access to Higher Education) Act (Repeal and Re-Enactment) Act, 2024 passed by @nassnigeria two weeks ago, on Wednesday, 20th March 2024. It replaces the 2023 Students Loans Act.

The difference between the old Act and the new Act is highlighted in a PLAC Bill Analysis available via this link: https://t.co/ihuOIcupBY
