He added that there will be a meeting by both parties on Monday, November 1, which is expected to be followed by good news.
He stated:
“As of Sunday, both teams have made significant progress. FG is finalising it. The ban should be lifted this week.
“There has been major progress in the discussions. Out of the 10 demands by the government, only one is left, which is Twitter having a formal presence in Nigeria. If that is agreed and sorted, then no issue again.
“There is supposed to be a meeting on Monday with the Twitter team; if they finally agree to the remaining one request, I can assure you that the ban would be lifted the next day.”
Suspension: FG says Twitter may resume service soon
Meanwhile, Lai Mohammed, the minister of information and culture, had said that Twitter had agreed to most of the conditions set by the Nigerian government to resume operations in the West African country.
The minister said the social media giant has met almost 70% of the government’s terms and conditions.
Legit.ng gathered that he said many of the terms and conditions are quite fundamental and important, adding that the government is working on a few more.
