Nigeria Lifts Twitter Ban After Company Agrees to Open Local Office

Nigeria will lift a ban on Twitter after the social media platform agreed to open a local office, among other agreements with authorities in the West African country, a senior government official said. The Nigerian government suspended Twitter on June 4 after it removed a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists.
