The Nigerian government suspended Twitter on June 4 2021 after it removed a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists.

The ban has now been lifted after the social media platform pledged to open a local office, among other agreements.

However according to Gbenga Sesan, Director of digital rights organisation, Paradigm Initiative Digital Group: 鈥淣igerians didn鈥檛 notice the Twitter ban. The only people that really went off was the government itself鈥�.
