The Nigerian Government has said it will amend relevant statutes and codes to enforce the operational conditions of Twitter in Nigeria on other social media platforms.

Mohammed disclosed that Nigeria was amending its National Broadcasting Act and Broadcasting Code to ensure that all online platforms operating in the country comply with stipulated conditions as done with Twitter.
“Whatever applies to Twitter will apply to all other social media platforms, be it WhatsApp, Facebook or any other,” the minister said.
