Senate President, Bukola Saraki has revealed that the senate is testing Facebook Live streaming for its plenary sessions.

The Senate has been streaming its plenary sessions on YouTube but the viewership has been poor, owing to the huge amount of data needed to stream videos on the platform.

However, the new test on Facebook live may be a good strategy by the National Assembly to keep more Nigerians up to speed with proceedings.

The plenary sessions are likely to get more views on Facebook live because it is more data effective to stream videos on the platform.
