Nigerian Government Lifts Ban On Twitter After Almost 8 Months by Jenniferchuma10: 10:39pm On Jan 12, 2022
President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a directive that the ban on Twitter be lifted after about 8 months.

President Buhari’s directive was announced by Chairman Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement and Director-General National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, CCIE.

In a statement on Wednesday, January 12, in Abuja, Kashifu stated that the approval was given following a memo written to Buhari by his Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.

“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 effective from 12am tonight, 13th January 2022.

The approval was given 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 updated and requested the President’s approval for the lifting based on the Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement’s recommendation,” he said.
Twitter operations in Nigeria were suspended in June of 2021, days after Buhari’s tweet was deleted.
