Micro blogging platform, Twitter has vowed to provide a way for Nigerians to gain access to the platform.
The U.S. based social media firm made this known on Saturday, stressing blocking Twitter in Nigeria is of deep concern.
Recall the federal government of Nigeria just recently suspended the use of Twitter in the country. But Nigerians have found means, using VPNs, to circumvent the suspension.
Meanwhile, Twitter in a statement following the suspension brouhaha has said it will work to restore access for everyone in Nigeria who is affected by the suspension.
“We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria. Access to the free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society.
“We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world,” Twitter’s Global Public Policy team tweeted.
