President Muhammadu Buhari has approved conditional lifting of ban on microblogging giant Twitter.
The president made this position known during a broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 61st Independence Anniversary on Friday in Abuja.
The Federal Government suspended the operations of Twitter in Nigeria on June 5, to allow the government put measures in place to address identified negative trends exhibited by the social media platform.
Buhari announced that the Presidential Committee he constituted, along with its Technical Team, to engage Twitter to explore the possibility of resolving the issue that led to the suspension of Twitter’s activities in Nigeria had successfully addressed a number of key issues.
