The Embassy of US mission in Nigeria has reacted to the Twitter ban by the Nigerian government.
This is coming after Federal government had announced the indefinite suspension of Twitter’s operation in Nigeria.
“ #KeepItOn Nigeria’s constitution provides for freedom of expression. The Government’s recent #Twitterban undermines Nigerians’ ability to exercise this fundamental freedom and sends a poor message to its citizens, investors and businesses. Banning social media and curbing every citizen’s ability to seek, receive, and impart information undermines fundamental freedoms. As President Biden has stated, our need for individual expression, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater. The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less communication, alongside concerted efforts toward unity, peace, and prosperity” the US mission in Nigeria stated.
