The Federal Government has lifted the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria with five conditions following approval by President Muhammadu Buhari.
But the restoration of service takes effect from midnight of January 13th, 2022.
The ban, according to the Federal Government, was a deliberate attempt to recalibrate Nigeria’s relationship with Twitter to achieve the maximum mutual benefits for the two sides.
It said the engagement will help Twitter to improve and develop more business models to cover a broader area in Nigeria.
But the government warned all users of the Twitter platform to maintain ethical behaviour and refrain from promoting divisive, dangerous and distasteful information on the platform.
It warned all internet platforms against committing a crime by using a Nigerian Internet Protocol IP. The Chairman Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement and Director-General National Information Technology Development Agency NITDA Kashifu Abdullahi announced the suspension of the ban in Abuja
