0 301

THE Federal Government has promised to lift its indefinite ban on Twitter in the country.

At a meeting with several envoys today, 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.
