Post Date : December 13, 2022

 

Twitter has mixed up its labelling of some Norwegian government officials, including Prime Minister Jonas Store.

In its description of Norway’s foreign ministry account, the micro-blogging platform wrote “Nigeria government organisation”.

On Tuesday, the Norwegian ministry raised the alarm over the disparity in identities and asked Twitter to rectify the issue.

The misappropriation of identities was also found in the accounts of the country’s prime minister, and Anniken Huitfeldt, the foreign minister.

 

“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,” the Norwegian ministry tweeted.

“P.S. That also goes for Prime Minister @jonasgahrstore and Foreign Minister @AHuitfeldt.”
