Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the Federal Government did nnot ban Twitter.
According to him, it only suspended it.
The popular social media was so suspended in June, with attendant controversies and loss in businesses.
But Mohammed explained in France that all the issues involved would soon be resolved.
Speaking at the Nigeria International Partnership Forum in Paris, he said,
“I want to categorically say that Twitter was not banned by Nigera, it was only suspended. So, Twitter was never banned, it was suspended.
“Also, the suspension has nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The correspondences between us and Twitter have reached advanced stage. I want to say that the correspondences and the exchanges have been fruitful.
“But we have a few more issues to resolve. Out of about 12 conditions, Twitter has been able to meet 10.
“Very soon, all issues will be resolved in a way that it will be good for both our country and Twitter.”
