\u2018We appreciate the patience of Nigerians. I want to assure you that we have made very tremendous progress. We have met with Twitter both physically and in writing. We are actually almost there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201d The engagement has been extremely positive without any acrimony. We have made it clear what we want from Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alhaji Mohammed stated that some of the conditions made by the Federal Government for Twitter operations to resume in Nigeria include that Twitter should establish a legal presence in the country, register as a Nigerian company with an address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should also have a Country Representative that will serve as a liaison and must register with relevant regulatory agencies including the NCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
