Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki have reacted to the lifting of suspension on Twitter by the Federal Government.
The Federal Government on Wednesday lifted the suspension placed on Twitter from operating in Nigeria since June 5, 2021.
Reacting to the development, Atiku said the effects of the #TwitterBan, particularly on small businesses, was evident for all to see.
“I am glad that the ban has finally been lifted, and our young people who are already dealing with the challenging business environment can now have a breath of fresh air to thrive,” he said.
