Lai Mohammed Speaks On Twitter Ban In Nigeria

Lai Mohammed said: ”I want to categorically say that Twitter was not banned by Nigeria, it was only suspended. So, Twitter was never banned, it was suspended. Also, the suspension has nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari.

“The correspondence between us and Twitter have reached an advanced stage. I want to say that the correspondence and the exchanges have been fruitful.

“But we have a few more issues to resolve. Out of about 12 conditions, Twitter has been able to meet 10. Very soon, all issues will be resolved in a way that will be good for both our country and Twitter.”

This comes two months after Lai Mohammed has assured Nigerians that the Federal Government will lift the ban on Twitter in “a few more days”.
