President Muhammadu Buhari can not provide information on when the ban on twitter in Nigeria will be lifted.
The Minister of information and Culture, Lai Mohammed had announced the indefinite suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria.
He stated that the government was forced to act because of “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.”
NewsSpecng reports suspension of the social media service has continued to spark widespread outrage with many Nigerians, condemning the move.
But during an the interview on Arise TV monitored by NewsSpecng, Buhari when quizzed on when the Twitter ban would be lifted, declined to comment, saying he would “keep” the answer to himself.
“I will keep that to myself,” Buhari said.
However, Nigerians have defiled the authorities as they have continued to bypass the restrictions by using the Virtual Private Networks(VPNs) to access their accounts.
