The Federal Government has said the social networking site, Twitter, has agreed to set of Nigerian office in 2022.
It added that the over two-month ban on the social networking site will soon be lifted as it had reached an agreement with Twitter in most areas of misunderstanding.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, disclosed this on Wednesday while answering questions from State House correspondents after a meeting of the Federal Executive Council presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Recall that on June 5, 2021, the Federal Government banned Twitter after it deleted tweets made by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), warning the Indigenous People of Biafra that they “will be treated in the language they understand.”
The government had interpreted the action as discourteous, accusing the social media platform of allowing misinformation and fake news.
Mohammed on Wednesday said, “I want to say that the end for an amicable solution is very much in sight.
“We quite appreciate the anxiety of Nigerians, I just want to assure you that we have made tremendous progress.
