The Twitter Headquarters in San Francisco, California on November 4, 2022. – Half of Twitter’s 7,500 employees were laid off on November 4, an internal document showed, as new owner Elon Musk began a major revamp of the troubled company. “Roughly 50 percent of the workforce will be impacted,” said a questions and answer email seen by AFP that was sent to Twitter employees who lost their jobs following last week’s mammoth $44 billion takeover.
By June 5, 2021, the suspension was effected by telecommunications companies as Nigerians woke up to a Twitter shutdown across all platforms. Part of the agreements reached between the two parties, according to a statement issued by FG in January, included that “Twitter is committed to establishing a legal entity in Nigeria during the first quarter of 2022.
“At the same time, the Law Enforcement Portal provides a channel for the law enforcement agencies to submit a report with a legal justification where it suspects that content violates Nigerian Laws. Taken together, these represent a comprehensive compliance apparatus. Meanwhile, a very close source monitoring development around Twitter, following the takeover by Musk, told The Guardian that feelers from the U.S-based firm showed that the African arm might be scrapped completely.
“We recognise that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.”
