FG gives conditions to lift Twitter ban
Nigerias federal government has issued a condition Titter users must abide by have the indefinite ban it imposed on Twitter lifted.
This was disclosed by Geoffrey Onyeama, Minister of Foreign Affairs, during a meeting with some envoys on Monday.

The minister however, noted that there is no definite timeline for lifting the ban.
“We are not saying that Twitter is threatening the country or any such thing.
‘why we have taken this measure is to stop them to be used as platforms for destabilization and facilitation of criminality or encouragement of criminalities,” he said.
