The social media platform, Twitter, which is currently banned in Nigeria, says it looks forward to being reinstated there following “productive” discussions with its government, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported.
Their statement follows President Muhammadu Buhari’s announcement that the months-long ban on Twitter will be lifted, but only after certain conditions are met.
An unnamed Twitter spokesperson said on Friday shortly after the prresident’s broadcast: “We continue to engage with the Nigerian government and we are committed to charting a path forward to the restoration of Twitter for everyone in Nigeria.
“Discussions with the Nigerian government have been respectful and productive – we look forward to seeing the service restored very soon.”
