The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, on Sunday dispelled rumours about his health after being sighted in Abuja attending an official meeting.

Amid circulating reports suggesting that the Minister was battling a serious ailment, Edun appeared hale, hearty, and in high spirits in the nation’s capital, where he joined the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, for a meeting with a delegation from Qatar.

According to officials present, the meeting, which lasted over an hour, focused on strengthening economic and investment ties between Nigeria and Qatar.

Edun actively participated in the discussions, sharing insights and engaging with members of the Qatari delegation.

The Minister was seen leaving the meeting briefly after an hour for a lunch break, further dispelling any notion of frailty or illness.

His public appearance comes as the Federal Government continues to deepen bilateral and investment relations with strategic partners, with the Ministry of Finance playing a central role in implementing key aspects of the nation’s economic agenda.
