The House of Representatives, on Thursday, July 1, rejected the lifting of Twitter ban. 

The rejection came while the House was considering the report of its Committee on the matter.

It states “the Federal Government should take into cognizance the negative effect of the Twitter suspension on Nigerians who depend on the platform for their livelihood,” and lift the suspension.

Seconded by another member, the motion was however rejected by the majority of the House when put to vote.
