Speaking on Channel Television’s Sunday Politics, Keyamo said, “The reason the president took that step is to recalibrate our relationship with Twitter and not to drive them away from our country.”
“That recalibration, we have started it and the President graciously added me to the committee.
“We also set up a technical committee to interface with Twitter and come up with a lot of conditions for them to fulfill for us to lift the suspension.
“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.”
Recall that the Federal Government through the minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Lai Mohammed announced a ban on Twitter on June 4.
The ban followed the dropping of a post by President Muhammadu Buhari, which the platform said was against its operational guidelines.
