Twitter, a social media service, has suspended the account of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) on the digital platform.
The NCC is under the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy headed by Isa Pantami.
A statement on the account showed that no activity can take place on it.
“Account suspended. Twitter suspends accounts which violated the Twitter Rules,” a notification on the account reads.
On suspended accounts, Twitter notes that the development may occur to ensure a safe environment for users.

“In order to maintain a safe environment for users on Twitter, we may suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules. Common reasons for suspension may include: spam, account security at risk and abusive tweets or behaviour,” a statement on Twitter reads.
Twitter’s rules state that an account can be suspended for several reasons including violence; terrorism/violent extremism; abuse/harassment; hateful conduct; child sexual exploitation; and sensitive media.
NCC’s director of public affairs, Ike Adinde, has said that the commission is aware of the suspension.
The spokesman said it is false that NCC violated any Twitter rule, saying it is a glitch from Twitter’s two-factor authentication (2FA) system.
“We have been aware of issues with our Twitter account, apparently emanating from technical glitches with the company’s (Twitter’s) authentication system,” he said.
Adinde referred back to an August 10 report published here, saying a number of users globally are experiencing similar problems.
