Twitter 'Looks Forward' To Nigeria Ban Ending

The social media platform Twitter, which is currently banned in Nigeria, says it looks forward to being reinstated there following "productive" discussions with its government.

Their statement follows Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari's announcement that the month-long ban on Twitter will be lifted, but only after certain conditions are met.

An unnamed Twitter spokesperson said on Friday:

We continue to engage with the Nigerian government and we are committed to charting a path forward to the restoration of Twitter for everyone in Nigeria.
