Festus Kayamo, Minister of State for Labor and Employment, said the social media platform, Twitter has accepted all of the terms set by the federal government regarding its operations in Nigeria.
A committee was set up, of which Keyamo is a member, to review the operations of the microblogging platform since its restriction in the country. He said the committee has made significant progress so far. “The reason why the president took that step is to recalibrate our relationship with Twitter and not to drive them away from our country,” said the minister.
He also said that the technical committee was set up to interface with Twitter and come with terms for them to fulfil for the ban to be lifted. “It was
Twitter that reached out to the Federal Government to say they want to know what and what they can do to straighten up the relationship with the Federal Government and so, we have gone far but I may not, at this forum, let out a lot but we gave them a lot of conditions and they have agreed to all the conditions,”.
