Delta State Government does not owe its workers, according to the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Patrick Ukah.
Refuting newspaper claims, the Commissioner stated in a statement this afternoon Tuesday, November 28, 2017 it is misleading to list Delta state as one of the States owing workers salaries.
Mr. Ukah stated: “For the avoidance of doubt, Delta State Government does not owe its workers. We have paid all our workers to date and we have also consistently given financial support to the Local Government Councils to enable them pay the salaries of their workers.
“We consider the report malicious and tendentious and, therefore, demand an unreserved apology and immediate retraction of the story.
“We urge journalists to always cross check their facts before rushing to the press as such false information undermines good governance.
“Despite the economic downturn Delta State Government has consistently paid its workers salaries even as we have continued to excel in infrastructure renewal, job creation and human capital development,” the commissioner declared.
