ABUJA — Minister of State for Labour and Employment Festus Keyamo yesterday said Social media platform ‘Twitter’ has agreed to all the conditions laid out by the Federal Government regarding its operations in Nigeria.
Recall that Information, Culture and Tourism Minister Lai Mohammed announced the ban on June 4.
Keyamo, who is also a member of a committee, set up to review the operations of the platform since its ban, said on a Channels Television programme Sunday Politics that the committee has so far made significant progress.
“The reason the president took that step is to recalibrate our relationship with Twitter and not to drive them away from our country.
“It was Twitter that reached out to the Federal Government to say they want to know what and what they can do to straighten up the relationship with the Federal Government and so, we have gone far but I may not, at this forum, let out a lot but we gave them a lot of conditions and they have agreed to all the conditions.
“We also set up a technical committee to interface with Twitter and come up with a lot of conditions for them to fulfill for us to lift the suspension,” he said.
