The Federal Government has opened an official account with Koo, an Indian microblogging platform.
The account, with the handle, “@nigeriagov” and username “Government of Nigeria,” had over 10,000 followers, which is still growing.
This came less than a week after it suspended Twitter operations in Nigeria, alleging that the microblogging site was being used to undermine “Nigeria’s corporate existence.”
Koo founder and Chief Executive Officer, Aprameya Radhakrishna, confirmed on Saturday that the platform is now available in Nigeria.
“Koo is now available in Nigeria. We are thinking of enabling the local language there as well. He further added that they are considering introducing a local Nigerian language into the Koo app,” he said.
Radhakrishna said his team was working on adding Nigeria’s local languages for Koo users in the country.
