Regulators are in uncharted territory trying to regulate illegal cryptocurrency public coin offerings, US officials told Congress today.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lia Mohammed, has shed more light on plans by the Federal government to stop entertainers and movie makers from shooting their jobs outside the shores of Nigeria.
