THE Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) on Thursday denied a Twitter account @osagieehanire registered in the name of the newly inaugurated Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire.
The ministry advised the public to disregard the unverified Twitter handle.
Ehanire was among the cabinet members sworn in by President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He was the minister of state for health during Buhari’s first tenure in office.
He is to be assisted by Sen. Adeleke Mamora as junior minister attached to the ministry.
