Nigerian Presidency Denies Finance Minister Edun Flown Abroad, Confirms Recovery in Abuja

The Nigerian Presidency refuted claims of Finance Minister Wale Edun being flown abroad for medical treatment, clarifying that he is recuperating in Abuja under the care of Nigerian doctors. Speculations about his health intensified following his absence from key events, including the IMF annual meeting in Washington D.C.

Edun, a key figure in President Bola Tinubu's economic reform agenda, has been closely monitored by officials, with no plans for replacement announced.
