The Federal Government says the management of the microblogging platform, Twitter, has reached out for dialogue.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed made this known on Wednesday while addressing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council.
He stated that the ban has been very effective following reports of Twitter’s huge financial losses running into billions.
Minister Lai Mohammed also spoke concerning the payment of tax by tech giants in the country.
He explained that most of the OTT and social media platforms operating in Nigeria do not have offices either do they pay taxes for the billions earned.
Henceforth, the Federal government has resolved to ensure other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram be registered in the country and adverts have been published to this effect.
When asked about the law under which Nigerians who violate the Twitter suspension would be prosecuted, the Minister was unable to provide an answer, noting that the Attorney General of the Federation will provide the answers.
