Nigeria suspended Twitter in the country in June after the social media platform deleted a controversial tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Nigerian government has indicated that the temporary ban on Twitter may be lifted soon.

The information minister, Lai Mohammed, said on Wednesday that though talks are still ongoing with Twitter, many agreements have been reached. Mr Mohammed, who briefed journalists after the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja, said the areas still pending include Twitter setting up an office in Nigeria and having a Twitter staff of management cadre as the country representative.

He said though Twitter has agreed to establish an office in Nigeria, the social media platform said it cannot do so until 2022.
