FG OFFERS CONDITION TO LIFT BAN ON TWITTER IN NIGERIA

The federal government has imposed a condition on the lifting of Twitter’s indefinite suspension in Nigeria.

At a meeting with several envoys, Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama stated that Twitter’s operations in Nigeria will be restored only if the platform can be utilized “responsibly.”

When asked when the ban will be lifted, Onyeama stated there is no set date, but added, “The requirement would be responsible usage of social media, and that has to be it.”

“We are not claiming that Twitter is a threat to the country or anything like that; we have taken this action to prevent them from being used as forums for destabilization, facilitation, or encouragement of criminality,” he added.
