Federal Government to lift Twitter ban in days - Lai Mohammed

The Federal Government has said that days from now the ban on one of the largest social media platform in the world, Twitter will be lifted.

The minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this in Abuja after a FEC meeting held on Wednesday 15th September, 2021.

While answering questions from news men regarding the Federal Government's current state on the Twitter ban.

"I think even Twitter itself two days ago gave what I call a progress report on our talks with them and I think if i want to quote them rightly, it has been productive and quite respectful.

"And as to the qualifying word for when or how soon, I want to assure you that the time that Twitter operation has been suspended and when it will be restored is by far much much shorter.

"That I can assure you that it is by far in other words, if the operation has been suspended for about 100 days now, I can tell you that we're just actually talking about a few, just a few more days now." He said.

Recall that the Federal Government had suspended the social media platform, Twitter over taking down President Buhari's tweet which it claimed that it went against the company's policy.
