He said: “Our belief is that Nigeria needs Twitter just as Twitter needs Nigeria.
“Our expectation is that we will be able to resolve this issue.
”But beyond that, I am optimistic and I believe that all of us would have learnt our lessons”.
He gave assurance that the nation would overcome its security challenges.
He added: ”I believe this is the worst level we could get to. We cannot go beyond this level, it could only be better.
“I believe we are going to give a reversal of this situation very soon. We shouldn’t despair, we shouldn’t be despondent. We should have hope and optimism that our situation will be better.”
