 The Nigeria Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has denied the allegation against him that he sneaked out of Nigeria to meet with Twitter executives in U.S.

Recall that on 12th of August, 2021. During Federal Executive Council meeting (FEC) Lai Mohammed said that “We appreciate the patience of Nigerians. I want to assure Nigerians that we have made very tremendous progress. We have met with Twitter both physically and in writing. We are actually almost there, he said.” 

During an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Washington on Wednesday, the minister described the allegation as false and said that his official visit to U.S. has nothing to do with the microblogging and social networking platform.
