FG says end of Twitter ban is near 100 days after suspension
The Federal Government has assured Nigerians that it would soon resolve issues with micro-blogging platform, Twitter, and relax the ban placed on its operation in the country.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, gave this assurance while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the virtual Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the First Lady’s Conference room, Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Speaking further, the minister said, “I think even Twitter itself two days ago, gave what I will call a progress report on our talks with them. And I think if I want to quote them correctly, it has been productive and quite respectful”.
He added, “As to how soon is soon, right? I want to assure you that Twitter’s operation, which was suspended, will be restored very soon; that I can assure you”.
It would be recalled that it is about 100 days since the Federal Government placed a ban on twitter for deleting President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet on the Mazi Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
