Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has described the late Dr Murtala Mohammed Minister of Environment, Science, and Technology as one who was incorruptible.
Sharing some memories of the late official in an interview on Channel One TV on August 11, 2025, he recounted one incident where he travelled with the late minister to meet the then leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi as young politicians.
According to Ablakwa, it was in line with Africa's liberation and strategies to rally influential people at all levels including chiefs into buying into Gaddafi's ideologies. "It was a very expensive trip.
We had high hopes and were excited about it.
