“These issues bordering on National Security, Cohesion and the effects of the abuse of the Twitter platform forced the [Federal Government of Nigeria] to suspend the operation of Twitter to address the direct and collateral issues around its operations in Nigeria,” Abdullahi continued.
“The new global reality is that digital platforms and their operators wield enormous influence over the fabric of our society, social interaction and economic choices,” Abdullahi said.The Nigerian government has struggled with issues around freedom of speech, especially online. Back in October of 2020, the Nigerian people rose up to demand an end to police brutality.
Twitter has agreed to appoint a designated country representative to interface with Nigerian authorities. The Global Public Policy team is also directly available through a dedicated communication channel.Twitter has agreed to enrol Nigeria in its Partner Support and Law Enforcement Portals. The Partner Support Portal provides a direct channel for government officials and Twitter staff to manage prohibited content that violates Twitter community rules.
Twitter has agreed to act with a respectful acknowledgement of Nigerian laws and the national culture and history on which such legislation has been built and work with the FGN and the broader industry to develop a Code of Conduct in line with global best practices, applicable in almost all developed countries.“We are pleased that Twitter has been restored for everyone in Nigeria.
“We are deeply committed to Nigeria, where Twitter is used by people for commerce, cultural engagement, and civic participation,” the spokesperson continued.
