The focus of the study is to examine network restriction to twitter platform: a bridge to fundamental rights of Nigerian citizens using Abuja as case study. The study adopted a survey research design and conveniently enrolled 80 participants in the study. A total of 77 responses were received and validated from the enrolled participants where all respondents were drawn from Twitter Users in Abuja. Hypothesis was tested using Chi-Square statistical tool (SPSS). Findings from the study revealed that network restriction of citizens access to twitter platform is a grave violation of the fundamental human right of the citizens. By infringing citizens’ right to the freedom of expression, communication and association, it violates section 39 of the Constitution, while undermining the social and economic rights guaranteed Nigerian citizens by Chapter 11 of the Constitution. More so, Findings from the study revealed present Twitter ban is a severe abuse of authority since it prioritizes the President's personal interests over the interests of the country and its inhabitants as the ban was not carried out democratically. The study therefore recommends that the federal government of Nigeria should endeavour to go back to their drawing board and make necessary amendments to the ban on Twitter usage in Nigeria. Finally,the federal government of Nigeria should recognize that the ban on Twitter is affecting different spheres of the economy. They should adhere to the terms and rules of ECOWAS and revoke the ban since the ban is a bridge of the fundamental rights of the citizen.
