The social media account manager handling the official Twitter account of the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy has apologized for an error he made when he used the Ministry’s Twitter account to share a personal tweet that was considered inappropriate.
A Twitter user had shared a tweet about sports and @FMoCDENigeria’s Twitter handle gave a heated response that ended with: “Indaboski Bahose will sure visit you soon.”
It was apparent that the social media handler had forgotten to switch over to his personal account before sharing the tweet.
Unfortunately, the error was noticed by Twitter users and they called out the Ministry.
The social media handler took responsibility for the error and he switched to his personal Twitter account to reveal himself and apologize.
He tweeted: ” I want to apologise to @FMoCDENigeria and Nigerians for the oversight at my end to have reply a tweet with the official Handle. I was given privileged to review and check tweets. It was an expensive error from me. I sincerely apologise. Blame is on me.”
The official Twitter handle of the @FMoCDENigeria also apologized, writing: “We sincerely apologize to Nigerians, this was a mistake by one of the handlers of this account who thought he was tweeting with his personal account. We are a responsive handle and would not get involved with such.”
