Nigerian businesses lost a whopping N10.72 trillion ($26.1billion) between June 5, 2021 to 13th January 2022, during the seven-month shutdown of Twitter

This is as the group commended the federal government for lifting the ban placed on Twitter operations in the country.

Director-general of LCCI, Dr. Chinyere Almona said the federal government’s press statement conveying the lifting of the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria was well received and commendable. “The operations of the microblogging platform were shut down on the 5th of June 2021 by the federal government due to the use of the platform for subversive purposes and criminal activities that were seen as threats to national security and social cohesion,” she pointed out.

Almona noted that “in business terms, the cost of the seven-month shutdown of Twitter operations in Nigeria is estimated to be N10.72 trillion between June 5, 2021 to 13th January 2022, according to Netblock’s Cost of Shutdown Tool. “Digital platforms have become a viable tool for business operations and governance in engaging with diversified audiences and boosting digital transactions.”

It's not true, the federal government might have banned TwitterinNigeria but that doesn't mean that they were able to stop Nigerians from making use of Twitter because most Nigerians made well use of VPN.
