Twitter, Other ICT Sector Players Contributed 14.91% to GDP, CSJ Reminds FG

A leading civil society organisation, Centre for Social Justice has reminded the federal government that Twitter and other social media platforms belong to the Information Communications sector which contributed 14.9 per cent to the 2021 first quarter gross domestic product .

The group urged the government to refrain from taking steps that will prevent Nigerians from accessing services provided by third parties which do not violate laws enacted by the respective legislatures. “It will be recalled that the Nigerian economy grew by less than 1%, specifically by 0.51% in Quarter 1 of 2021 and the contributions of the major sectors to aggregate real GDP is as follows: Oil sector accounted for 9.25%; the agriculture sector accounted for 22.35%; manufacturing was 9.93%; trade’s contribution was 15.61%, construction was 4.12%, etc.”

According to CSJ, Twitter as part of social media platforms is a veritable medium for the outreach of enterprises in the Information Communications Technology and other sectors, arguing that banning Twitter will retard investments, productivity, employment generation and the overall output and outcome of the economy.

According to the group, the ban will also retard the ease of doing business as many of its services will now be done through resource and time-consuming methods which will make the business environment inclement.

They will pretend that they're not aware of this bcoz they don't want to be aware as they love poverty more than riches as a govt for d nation,they owe lots of debts with no hope to pay back. They knew that they have lost lots of money since the ban of twitter but remain adamant.
