[Photo]Twitter labels Norwegian officials as Nigerian Govt. officials

Norwegian government organisation on Tuesday appealed to Twitter to change the label “Nigerian Government Officials” on its official Twitter handles and that of its leaders.

Recall that the certified Twitter accounts of Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt, and her ministry were all presented as Nigerian government officials or institutions, as at Tuesday.

The Norwegian foreign ministry wrote “Dear @TwitterSupport, as much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical vicinity with Nigeria, we would much appreciate if you could label us as Norway.”

“P.S. That also goes for Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and Foreign Minister @AHuitfeldt” the foreign ministry wrote in a tweet, followed by a winking emoji.

Although as at the time of filing this report, the mistake have since been rectified by Twitter.
