ABUJA—Nigeria said on Wednesday it expects to end its ban on Twitter in a “few more days,” raising hopes among users eager to return to the social media platform three months after the suspension took effect.

The ban, announced in June, has hurt Nigerian businesses and drawn widespread condemnation for its damaging effect on freedom of expression and the ease of doing business in Africa’s most populous nation.
