The Nigerian government has imposed a condition on the lifting Twitter’s indefinite suspension.
At a meeting with several envoys, 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 he said: “The condition would be responsible use of the social media and that really has to be it. We are not saying that Twitter is threatening the country or any such thing; why we have taken this measure is to stop them to be used as platforms for destabilisation and facilitation of criminality or encouragement of criminalities,”
