The House of Representatives has summoned the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to appear before it over the controversial suspension of Twitter.
Mr Mohammed is to appear before a joint committee on Justice, Commerce and Information.
The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, announced this in his speech during the plenary on Tuesday.
He said the joint committee will investigate the process that led to the suspension of the platform.
