The Federal Government says the management of tech giant, Twitter, has reached out for dialogue.
Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, said this on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, while addressing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council.
He said Twitter reached out to the Federal Government on Wednesday morning.
He declared that the ban has so far been very effective following reports of Twitter’s huge financial losses running into billions.
The Information Minister maintains that Twitter has been a platform of choice for separatists to thrive and would be disallowed from operating until it is duely registered, licensed, and operates within regulations.
When the Minister was asked about the law under which Nigerians who violate the Twitter ban would be prosecuted, Lai refrained from answering and asked that the Attorney General of the Federation provide answers.
Speaking concerning the discussion at the FEC meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari, Mohammed insisted on the ban and asked politicians to rise beyond various divisions and queue behind the country’s decision to ban the microblogging site.
