BREAKING: FG Agrees To Meet With Twitter, Appoints Team

 

President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to talk with Twitter.

 

This comes following the government's decision to ban Twitter operations in Nigeria.

 

Consequently, Buhari has approved the composition of the Federal Government’s Team to engage with Twitter.

 

The approval was announced in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who will chair the team.

 

The Federal Government’s team also comprises the Attorney General of the Federation and Honourable Minister of Justice, Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Honourable Minister of State for Labour and Employment as well as other relevant government agencies.

 

Following the indefinite suspension of its operations in Nigeria, for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence, Twitter wrote to President Buhari seeking to engage with the Federal Government over the suspension, with a view to charting a path forward.
