FG apologizes for given false information on the news that went viral about president tinubu being the first president to ring the NASDAQ Bell.


The Federal Government has offered an apology for its erroneous claim that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was the first African leader to ring the closing bell of NASDAQ. Tinubu had rung the bell on Wednesday alongside other business leaders, including Abdul Samad Rabiu, the chairman of BUA Group.

In a statement issued by Tinubu’s spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, he admitted that the error was made based on information provided by a third-party event organiser. The presidency expressed regret for the mistake and apologised for misleading the public.

                 Ajuri Obari Ngelale 

Ajuri Ngelale is a Nigerian broadcast journalist and politician currently serving as presidential spokesman to President Bola Tinubu. He previously served as presidential senior special adviser on public affairs to President Muhammadu Buhari and was a co-principal spokesperson of Ahmed Bola Tinubu presidential campaign council for the 2023 Nigeria presidential general election.

The statement also acknowledged the fact that former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan had rung the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange in 2014. DJ Cuppy, daughter of oil magnate Femi Otedola, had also rung the NYSE bell in 2019.

The Federal Government’s earlier claim was debunked after it was discovered that former Tanzanian President Kikwete had rung the closing bell of NASDAQ back in 2011. In addition to Kikwete, First Ladies, Health Ministers, and other health leaders had also rung the bell on the same occasion.

The mistake made by the Federal Government is one of many examples of inaccuracies that have occurred in the media. It emphasizes the need for careful fact-checking and research before making claims that could mislead the public.

This can result in a lack of focused questioning and evaluation, potentially leading to the appointment of ministers who may not be the best fit for their assigned portfolios. 2. Inefficient allocation of responsibilities: W...
