The Nigerian government has disassociated itself from a purported debate purportedly being planned by an organisation – Creative Africa Initiative.
The Ministry of Education said in a statement by its spokesperson, Folasade Boriowo, that the organisation had issued forged letters using the ministry’s letterheads, proposing a debate on the topic: “Same-Sex Marriage Should be Legalised in Nigeria,” which has raised serious concerns.
“The letter in question features a reference number linked to the now-defunct Basic and Secondary Education Department, which ceased to exist since June 17, 2021. Additionally, the letterhead used in the forgery displays an outdated reference number, and the font appears to have been superimposed on old letterhead paper,” part of the statement reads.
