FG TO LIFT BAN ON TWITTER SOON

The Federal Government has announce that the ban on operations on micro blogging platform, Twitter, will be lifted in a matter of days.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the position known following the week’s virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting was presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).

The Minister disclosed that the micro-blogging site has accepted most of the terms of negotiation with the Federal Government.

No date was, however, fixed for the lifting of the ban on Twitter’s operations in Nigeria.

It would be recalled that the Nigerian Government on 5th June 2021, officialy placed an indefinite ban on Twitter and restricting it from operating in Nigeria.

The development was sequel to the action of the micro-blogging site, deleting tweets made by President Muhammadu Buhari, warning the South Eastern people of Nigeria on the consequences of their negative actions.

Apart from social media influencers, economic activities came to a lower ebb as Digital marketers and other businesses were worst hit by the ban.
