<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This was announced on Friday, in his nationwide broadcast to Nigerians to mark the nation’s 61st independence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">President Buhari stressed that the ban will be lifted only if the micro-blogging platform meets the conditions set by the presidential committee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He 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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“However, recent events have proved that the platform is not just an innocuous platform for information dissemination.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“To address these negative trends, the Federal Government of Nigeria suspended the operations of Twitter in Nigeria on June 5, 2021 to allow the Government put measures in place to address these challenges.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“ Following the suspension of Twitter operations, Twitter Inc. reached out to the Federal Government of Nigeria to resolve the impasse. Subsequently, I constituted a Presidential Committee to engage Twitter to explore the possibility of resolving the issue.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“The Committee, along with its Technical Team, has engaged with Twitter and have addressed a number of key issues. These are National Security and Cohesion; Registration, Physical presence and Representation; Fair Taxation; Dispute Resolution; and Local Content.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“Following the extensive engagements, the issues are being addressed and I have directed that the suspension be lifted but only if the conditions are met to allow our citizens to continue the use of the platform for business and positive engagements.&#8221;</span></p>

Is only a performing president voice can be heard. We don’t have a president that his voice or instructions should be obeyed we only have someone who came in to power to destroyed what has be put in order and supporter of evils. Any one bearing that name should go and swear affidavit to change it because is a name not to be remembered in the History of this country, trust me.
