FCT, Abuja – Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the director general (DG) of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has refuted claims that she made comments on some alleged cabals in Bola Tinubuâs government.
In the social media post sighted by TimesNow.com.ng, Okonjo-Iweala was said to have asserted that Nigeriaâs debt rose to N24 trillion for the first time in history.
However, reacting via X (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, June 24, the former finance minister said the claim attributed to her is fake.
She warned those behind the fabrications that she âwill continue to rebut any attemptsâ to use her name and image falsely.
Her rebuttal reads in full:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Okonjo-Iweala disclosed the purpose of her visit to President Tinubu at the presidential villa.
Addressing state house correspondents after the meeting with the president, Okonjo-Iweala said the purpose of her visit was to channel how Nigerians can benefit more from the activities of the WTO.
According to the economist, the WTO has been working with some Nigerians, particularly women, in the area of trade, and manufacturing.
