Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), has firmly denied allegations of her involvement in securing a $57.5 billion loan for the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).
The claim, made by controversial Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa in a since-deleted post on X, stated that the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) had agreed to provide the loan to support a new Biafran government following a proposed declaration of independence on December 2, 2024.
Ekpa had also credited Okonjo-Iweala with facilitating the arrangement.
However, Okonjo-Iweala swiftly debunked the allegations, dismissing the claims as baseless and false.
In a statement posted on X, she clarified, “I know no sensible person will believe what is contained in the outrageous tweet below, but in these troubled times, it is important to underscore that the statement is false.”
She further urged those misusing her name to desist from such actions.
