But the claim has continued to make the rounds online, hence our decision to clarify things, After all, it is said that if a lie is repeated often enough, people will believe it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout mincing words, let me say that there was a long-drawn negotiation between Nigeria and Twitter, at the instance of the latter, following the suspension of the platform on June 4th 2021 because of its persistent use for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria\u2019s corporate existence<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeven days after the suspension, precisely on June 11th 2021, we received a letter, addressed to Mr. President, from Twitter\u2019s Vice President in charge of Public Policy, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Sinead McSweeney, seeking to meet with us on the Twitter suspension.\u201dThat letter kick-started a number of activities that culminated in extensive negotiation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the letter, the Federal Government announced its team to discuss with Twitter. The team, chaired by the Minister of Information and Culture, also comprised the Attorney General of the Federation and<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Following the composition of our team, we received another letter from a group, Albright Stonebridge Group, which apparently was working at the behest of Twitter. The letter (which is also projected on the screens and is available to the media), named the Twitter team to enter into a discussion with Nigeria. The team was headed by Sinead Sweeney, Twitter\u2019s Vice President, Europe, Middle East and Africa, whom I mentioned earlier; Karen White, Senior Director, Public Policy, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa; Ronan Costello, Senior Public Policy Manager, Africa, Europe, Middle East; Emmanuel Lubanzadio, Head of Public Policy, Sub-Saharan Africa; Jim Baker, Deputy General Counsel and Ambassador Johnnie Carson, Senior Adviser, Albright Stonebridge Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe back-and-forth negotiation culminated in a series of agreements that paved the way for the lifting of the Twitter suspension in January this year. Gentlemen, with the facts that we have supplied, you can now see that the fellow who reportedly alleged that Twitter did not negotiate with Nigeria is either being economical with the truth or didn\u2019t even understand the workings of the company where he worked,\u201dMohammed said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian government has disclosed that there were a series of rigorous negotiations between Twitter and the country before the ban on the micro-blogging media operation in the country was lifted last year.
