The condition recorded by the Federal Government panel that collaborated with Twitter stipulated that the platform would open an office for Nigeria, have a country representative, register with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), and get a National Broadcasting Commission's permit.
Others requirements included: fair tax payment and dealing with sensitive content to national security and cohesion.

He likewise said Twitter had consented to set 'aa legal entity in Nigeria during the first quarter of 2022.’
As well as setting up a neighborhood office or a lawful substance in the country, he said Twitter had consented to select a "designated country representative to hold communicate with the Nigerian government when required.
“Twitter has agreed to comply with applicable tax obligations on its operations under Nigerian law. Twitter has agreed to enrol Nigeria in its Partner Support and Law Enforcement Portals,” the assertion read.
