A content creator, Eric Gugua, has decried the continued harassment of online entertainers by security agents, calling for an end to such menace in the country.
Gugua, who is a Nigerian digital creator, blockchain expert, and educator who is known for his engaging content and ability to simplify complex technical concepts, spoke on Youth Forum, with the theme, ‘Pressing Issues Affecting Nigeria’s Youth,’ on Channels Television yesterday.
He, therefore called for policies that would protect creatives.
“In terms of protection, creators go through a lot of stuff. This is a space that is still growing. In terms of protection, policies need to come into place that particularly take people in this space into consideration, he said.
“We have got to see that the government is not just saying we are supporting this, rolling out initiatives and audio promises like that. A time has to come when we see in the policies that are being made that influencers and digital content creators are people that the government cares about.
“When creators go out to shoot content, they are constantly harassed. If it is not from people in the locality, it is from law enforcement (agents),” he added.
