Nigeria’s Minister of Finance ‘Okonjo-Iweala’ Debunks Resignation Rumor

Nigeria's Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for
Economy has debunked rumors which claimed she had
resigned.

Her media team issued a statement countering the resignation
rumor, the statement titled "Purported Resignation of the
Minister of Finance/Coordinating Minister for the Economy"
read,

It has come to our attention that a story is circulating online
about the purported resignation of the Minister of Finance and
Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala.

For the avoidance of doubt, this story is not true.
The Finance Minister is still in place and assures Nigerians
that all will be done to ensure that macro-economic stability is
maintained through tight fiscal and Monetary policies.

Signed.
