The Federal Government has apologised for openly begging billionaire businessman Elon Musk for ventilators.

The government came under severe criticism for the undignified manner it publicly begged for 100-500 ventilators.

Reacting, the Federal Ministry of Finance from whose twitter account the plea for ventilators was made said: “an unauthorised post was made on the verified Twitter handle of the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning.”

Yunusa Tanko Abdullahi, Special Adviser, Media and Communications, to the Minister of Finance Budget and National Planning said that “the fact of the post is regrettable because of which it is brought down.”

He noted that they “have made sure our internal processes are strengthened that such doesn’t happen again. The error is highly regrettable.”

The ministry had twitted that “dear @elonmusk @Tesla federal government of Nigeria needs support with 100-500 ventilators to assist with #covid19 cases arising everyday in Nigeria.”

The ministry said it will issue a statement after the Minister comes out of the Villa.

Can'treally see anything wrong with that Request. Its humanitarian need, it shows Nigeria cares for her citizens. Despite all this effort, one Media House calling itself AIT, is still blaming the Government for not acting fast enough in respect of this pandemic. Since the arrival of the Italian index carrier, the Govt has been up and doing.; AIT have been behaving as if they were in Opposition to this Govt. About time the Media House realise enough is enough, before they are forced to found their own country.

Friend, there are better ways to go about it, not by begging for giveaways on social media

You said u did'nt see anything wrong here, Right? That means those that begged for the items & apologized thereafter are wrong either ways. So why always blaming others for ur masters failures?
