The Federal Government has said the suspension on Twitter has not been lifted because the company has only met 10 out of the 12 conditions given to it.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, stated this while responding to a question from a participant at Nigeria International Partnership Forum in Paris.
He, however, said that it is a matter of time before all issues with Twitter are resolved, adding that the suspension of Twitter had nothing to do with issues bordering on President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “I want to categorically say that Twitter was not banned by Nigera, it was only suspended. So, Twitter was never banned, it was suspended.
“Also, the suspension has nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The correspondences between us and Twitter have reached advanced stage. I want to say that the correspondences and the exchanges have been fruitful.
“But we have a few more issues to resolve. Out of about 12 conditions, Twitter has been able to meet 10.
“Very soon, all issues will be resolved in a way that it will be good for both our country and Twitter.”
