Twitter Expresses Willingness To Meet Nigerian Government- Lai Mohammed

 

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has said that the micro blogging and social network service platform Twitter has showed it’s willingness to meet with Nigerian government over the suspension of operations in the country.
Recall that the Federal Government last Friday suspended Twitter’s operation in Nigeria on the basis accusing the social media giant of allowing its platform to be used to threaten the country’s cooperate existence.
The Minister while speaking to journalists on Wednesday disclosed that Twitter’s management is seeking a “high-level discussion” to resolve the issue that led to the suspension.
Confirming the Minister’s comment, Twitter said on Friday, “Today marks one week since Twitter was blocked in Nigeria.
“We have informed the Nigerian government that we are ready to meet for an open discussion to address mutual concerns and see the service restored. We remain advocates for the free and #OpenInternet everywhere. #KeepitOn.”
