Recently, some media outlets and social media posts have claimed that 934 billion [currency unspecified] disappeared from the Ministry of Trade. The Ministry would like to address these allegations clearly and transparently.
These claims are entirely false and are not supported by any documents or evidence. The Ministry confirms that its operational budget has not been disbursed this year, and all work since the beginning of the year has continued using limited internal resources, as verified by regulatory and financial authorities. Therefore, the claim of missing funds—which the Ministry never received—is completely baseless.
The Ministry emphasizes that its doors are always open to the Federal Board of Supreme Audit, the Integrity Commission, and all relevant oversight bodies. No financial or administrative irregularities have been recorded against the Ministry or its leadership. We remain fully committed to protecting public funds and operating according to the highest standards of integrity and transparency.
We urge the media and the public to verify information before sharing it, as spreading rumors causes confusion and undermines efforts to serve citizens effectively.
The Ministry of Commerce reaffirms its commitment to serve the people faithfully and will continue its work without being swayed by misinformation or false claims.
