The Federal Government on Wednesday said it has not lifted the ban on Twitter because the company has met just 10 out of the 12 conditions it was given.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, made the clarifications while responding at Nigeria International Partnership Forum in Paris.
Mr. Lai, however, raised the hope of Nigerians, saying it is just a matter of time before all issues surrounding the Twitter ban are resolved.

He also said the lingering Twitter ban has nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said: “I want to categorically say that Twitter was not banned by Nigeria, 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 an 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 will be good for both our country and Twitter.”
