Tolu Ogunlesi urges for regular check of gov websites.
While there has been a lot of complaints about the lack of activities in many governmental agencies, Tolu Ogunlesi has appealed to Nigerians to in fact be up to date with the websites of these governmental organizations. This, he noted, will help in the quest for knowing the agencies that work consistently and the ones that do not. In a social media post, he stated that government regulators like SEC, CBN, NAFDAC and FCCPC should be regularly reviewed by Nigerians, as there are interesting updates to be found.
One thing I have to say is that people need to more regularly check out the websites of @NigeriaGov regulators, like SEC, CBN, NAFDAC, FCCPC etc. There are usually interesting updates to be found, that might be missed otherwise. I'm on the SEC website now, for example: pic.twitter.com/icTcfZiXeT
