Buhari Gives Immediate Directive to Lift Twitter Ban, Outlines Conditions
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, said he had directed a conditional lifting of the ban placed on the operations of the microblogging sire, Twitter, in Nigeria in June.
Buhari disclosed this in his nationwide broadcast to Nigerians to mark the nation’s 61st independence.
He described social media as a very useful platform but regretted that some users have misused the platform to organise, coordinate, and execute criminal activities, propagate fake news, and promote ethnic and religious sentiments.
The President said, “Social media is a very useful platform that has enabled millions of Nigerians to connect with loved ones, promote their businesses, socialise, and access news and other information.
“However, recent events have shown that the platform is not just an innocuous platform for information dissemination.
“Rather some users have misused the platform to organise, coordinate, and execute criminal activities, propagate fake news, and promote ethnic and religious sentiments.
