Historical dispute emerges over Nigeria's 2005 Paris Club debt relief negotiations

A public disagreement has surfaced regarding the credit for Nigeria's 2005 Paris Club debt deal, following claims by former Governor Donald Duke that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala misrepresented her role. The rejoinder by Jide Akintunde challenges Duke's narrative, asserting that the public record contradicts his account of the negotiations. This reflects ongoing domestic political friction over the legacy of past economic administrations.
