Ban: Nigeria Twitter Users To Smile Very Soon As Media Platform Meets Condition
LAGOS JANUARY 5TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Twitter users may soon have access to the social media platform which has met the six conditions imposed on it by the Federal Government.
The Technical Committee raised by the government to resolve the impasse between the two parties is fine-tuning the offers by the micro blogger before making a final recommendation to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The President is also awaiting the report of the committee to lift the ban it imposed on Twitter on June 4, last year.
On its part, Twitter chose to enter into negotiation with the Federal Government to end the spat over the ban.
The talks by the two parties have been concluded but it is left to the government to make its final decision.
On the possibility of lifting the ban, Mohammed said last year: “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, (I meant) between the time it has been suspended, and when it will be restored is by far, much, much shorter.
“Twitter will be licensed by the broadcasting commission, and must agree not to allow its platform to be used by those who are promoting activities that are inimical to the corporate existence of Nigeria.”
