PRESS RELEASE

FG Suspends Twitter's Operations in Nigeria


The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the suspension in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday,
citing the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria's corporate existence.

The Minister said the Federal Government has also directed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately commence the process of licensing all OTT and social media operations in Nigeria.

A step in the right direction... Social media has become a tool for creation of fake news that ends up leading to anarchy.

It's a tool setup by the western world to disrupt any progress being made in our country.

I stand with the Federal Government on this

Lol. I imagine the kind of conversation and laughter jack Dorsey and his board of management will be having over their decisions of siting the Twitter Africa HQ in Ghana.

Jack will be like, I never knew they are this authoritative and dictative ooo

The other person on phone would be like, just give them few months, the president himself will show another damning evidence.

Mheen! Naija na cruise!

Hausa and Fulani people are the problem of Nigeria. Inspite of the bad news coming from Nigeria, you would never hear an Hausa or Fulani boy criticize Buhari. Yet, they don’t want to go their way.

This government is maddd!!!

See reasons why these guys chose Ghana over Nigeria? Assuming they have an office here,your guess as good as mine.

No wonder foreign investors are always avoiding the country like a plague.


Facebook also removed his post, they should it ban also. Dumb ancestors in power.
