The Federal Government has summoned the envoys of US, UK, Canada and the European Union over their comments on the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.
The suspension came after a controversial tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari was taken down by the social media platform for violating its rules.
In a joint statement last week, the missions had slammed the Nigerian government’s decision to suspend the use of Twitter in the country.
Reacting in a statement on Monday, Kimiebi Ebienfa, an official of the crisis monitoring and public communications division, ministry of foreign affairs, said the meeting will be held at 12:00 noon.
“I am directed to inform that following the recent ban on Twitter by the Federal Government and Press Statement issued by some Heads of Diplomatic Missions Accredited to Nigeria on the subject matter, the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, His Excellency, Geoffrey Onyeama has invited the affected Ambassadors to a meeting today at 12 noon,” Ebienfa said in a notice.
“The venue is minister’s conference room, 8th floor.”
While the ban on Twitter persists, Nigerians, including prominent politicians, have been able to gain access to the platform through virtual private network (VPN).
This is as the Minister of Justice and attorney-general of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, had called for the prosecution of anyone caught using the app.
