Social media giant, Twitter, has confirmed it reached out to
the Nigerian government, informing them of their willingness to meet over the
suspension placed on its platform in the country.
The Federal Government suspended Twitter’s operation in
Nigeria last Friday, on claiming the platform is being used to threaten the
country’s corporate existence.
On Wednesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed, who had announced the suspension, told newsmen that Twitter’s
management is seeking a “high-level discussion” to resolve the issue that led
to the suspension.
Confirming the Minister’s comment, Twitter took to its
platform on Friday, saying, “Today marks one week since Twitter was blocked in
Nigeria.
“We have informed the Nigerian government that we are ready
to meet for an open discussion to address mutual concerns and see the service
restored.
“We remain advocates for the free and #OpenInternet
everywhere. #KeepitOn.”
