Visa war: If U.S. wants Nigerians’ social media accounts, we should ask for theirs too – Shehu Sani backs FG

Former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani has voiced support for the Nigerian government's plan to demand social media account details from American citizens in response to a similar requirement by the United States. Sani believes that this reciprocal move would create a level playing field for both countries to gather information.

He emphasized the need for fairness, suggesting that if the US wants access to Nigerians' social media accounts, Nigeria should also have the right to demand the same from Americans. Sani's comments come in light of the US government's policy mandating visa applicants to provide their social media handles as part of the screening process.

This stance reflects a growing concern over privacy and transparency in the digital age.
