All microblogging agencies operating in Nigeria have been given an operating code.
The Nigeria National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) handed the code to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and others.
The code was formulated as part of the agreement after the face-off between Twitter and the Federal Government.
It also contains terms operations for their operations as Interactive Computer Service Platforms and Internet Intermediaries.
The conditions include registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the appointment of a country representative, and compliance with all tax obligations.
The code was necessitated by the Federal Government/Twitter faceoff over a year ago.
The agency explained that the draft code is available on https://nitda.gov.ng/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Code-of-Practice.pdf for review and comments from the public.
