The Office of the Presidency reacted to the lifting of the Twitter Ban in Nigeria, stating that the resolution made with the social media company will lead to a mutually beneficial future with endless possibilities for both sides.
This was disclosed in a statement by the media aide to the President, Garba Shehu on Thursday morning.
This is coming 7 months after the operation of the microblogging platform was suspended in the country after President Buhari’s tweet on military operations in the South-East was deleted and for persistent use of the platform for activities that were capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.
What the Presidency is saying
Garba Shehu said, “Let me join fellow countrymen and women in welcoming the resolution of the impasse between the Federal Government of Nigeria and Twitter Inc.”
He added that the resolution between both parties is leading to the laying of a “foundation for a mutually beneficial future with endless possibilities.”
Emphasising that the interests of Nigeria will always come first, he disclosed that the government appreciates Nigerians, “especially the vibrant Nigerian youths who have borne with the long wait to resolve this impasse.”
