Why wouldn’t Seun Osewa smile? For the Nigerian Presidency to recognise, open an account on your platform? The street credibility of Nairaland, Nigeria’s number one discussion forum just got up a notch.
Yes it is true. The Nigerian Presidency has opened an account on Nairaland. The user name is Presidency. It was actually opened on the 8th of June 2016.
FLASH: The Presidency has a new address 🙂
And our first news on there is an update on @npower_ng !https://t.co/Dfy7vXtren#NPowerNG
— Covid-19 Presidential Task Force (PTF) | Nigeria (@DigiCommsNG) June 13, 2016
And the first topic it posted was FG’s Social Investment Jobs Portal Records 400,000 Registrations In 36 Hours
It is truly a nice development as “The Nigerian Presidency” is getting closer to the ears of Nigerians online.
True there are a lot of Nigerians on Nairaland, the onus will now be on Seun Osewa’s team to moderate the comments on the Presidency’s page. Tolu Ogunlesi, Special Assistant on Digital/New Media for President Buhari, thinks that it will be difficult trying to engage Nigerians on Nairaland.
.@DigiCommsNG has a difficult assignment: figuring out a way to make the new Nairaland page truly engaging. What do you think? #weASOcial

Some people think it is a good idea while others think it is not. Here are some of the comments from Twitter.

Whichever way, we hope your objectives of opening this account are met.
