The governor distanced himself from a viral post credited to the government on the approval of a new minimum wage, describing it as false and misleading.
This is contained in a statement issued by the governor’s spokesman, Mamman Mohammed, on Thursday.
He said the state government did not issue any statement on the new minimum wage as it was still working on it.
“ The attention of the Yobe Government has been drawn to a false and misleading post on social media alleging approval of a new minimum wage.
“ The government has not issued any statement with regard to the minimum wage as it is still working on it, and would provide a statement on this, as soon as it is completed.
“ It is therefore grossly irresponsible, preemptive and misleading for anyone to unofficially speak, or post any statement for, or on behalf of the state government.
“ The post failed to provide details nor indicate when and where the statement emanated, making the content professionally discredited,” Mohammed said.
The aide said a national daily had already disowned the content, saying that the logo used on the online post did not emanate from it and the story could not be found on its website.
He, therefore, advised the public to disregard the “ mischievous and misleading post.
