BREAKING! Nigerian Government Lift Twitter Ban
The Nigerian government has lifted the suspension of Twitter’s operations in the country.
The government also accused Twitter of working against Nigeria’s interest.
The Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Abdullahi, announced the lifting of the suspension in a statement.
Mr Abdullahi was also involved in the Nigerian government’s negotiation with Twitter.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) directs me to inform the public that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the lifting of the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria effective from 12am tonight, 13th January 2022.
“The approval was given following a memo written to the President by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.
“In the Memo, the Minister updated and requested the President’s approval for the lifting based on the Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement’s recommendation.”
Since the suspension, millions of Twitter users in Nigeria have been unable to use the social media platform without Virtual Private Network (VPN).
