The Federal Government of Nigeria has actually raised the suspension of Twitter operations in the country, following President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval.

The choice was exposed by the Chairman Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement and Director-General National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, CCIE.

In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, Kashifu kept in mind the approval was offered following a memo written to Buhari by his Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.

He said: “The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) directs me to inform the public that President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved the lifting of the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria reliable from 12am tonight, 13th January 2022.

“The approval was provided following a memo written to the President by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.

“In the Memo, the Minister upgraded and asked for the President’s approval for the lifting based upon the Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement’s recommendation.”

Twitter operations in Nigeria were suspended in June 2021, days after Buhari’s tweet was deleted.

In November last year, Information Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said correspondence between us and Twitter had actually reached an innovative phase.
Mohammed noted: “We have a couple of more problems to resolve. Out of about 12 conditions, Twitter has been able to fulfill 10.

“Very quickly, all issues will be solved in a way that will be good for both our country and Twitter.”
