Okonjo-Iweala decries using her name for unauthorized adverts
Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance and current Director-Geneeral of the World Trade Organization, WTO, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has decried the use of her name for advertisement of events she knows nothing about.
According to a statement, yesterday, by her Media Adviser, Mr. Paul Nwabuike, the WTO boss said the practice has been intensified lately and that it was being carried out by mischievous people.
She urged those involved to desist, as she will be forced to consider legal actions against them if the practice is continued.
“For instance, her name has recently been used to advertise all kind of public events without any prior discussion or permission.
“These actions are clearly wrong and her office has had to respond to inquiries on issues and events that she knows nothing about.
“We urge the persons or groups responsible to desist from their unethical and illegal activities as Dr. Okonjo-Iweala may be forced to explore legal options to stop the misuse of her name.
