In a recent tweet, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, emphatically disassociated herself from claims made by Simon Ekpa regarding a purported $57.5 billion loan from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the Biafra Republic.
The former Finance Minister described the statement as outrageous and stressed the importance of addressing misinformation in these troubled times.
She urged individuals to refrain from misusing her name to propagate falsehoods, reaffirming her commitment to transparency and integrity.
The call for responsible communication also underscores the critical role accurate information plays in shaping public discourse, particularly in a climate where misinformation can spread rapidly.
