The social media platform, TikTok, says it did not restrict access to its network in Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

TikTok\u2019s Head of Communications for Sub-Saharan Africa, Keagile Makgoba, said this in a statement on Monday, amid reports of difficulties accessing the service.<\/p>\n

Ms Makgoba said that TikTok was engaging relevant stakeholders to resolve the reported access difficulties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can confirm that this restriction was not implemented by TikTok,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Makgoba said that the company remained committed to ensuring access for its communities.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) had earlier reported that a coalition of civil society organisations called for an independent investigation into the reported disruption in parts of Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The organisations said users in Kaduna, Kebbi, Kano, and Sokoto have had difficulty loading videos, viewing content, and uploading materials since 14 September.<\/p>\n

They urged relevant authorities and telecommunications operators to investigate the cause and publicly clarify whether any directive or technical issue was responsible.<\/p>\n
