Reacting to the move, a civil servant, who asked not to be named, described Governor’s action as a ‘misplacement of priority’.
He said :
“Is it not funny that a governor who claimed the state was cash strapped yesterday during our first working day meeting for the Year 2021 presented vehicles worth over N70m to just one person today?”
“Considering the cost of importation, the expected profit by the supplier, those vehicles I saw today can’t be less than N100m, yet he can’t pay salaries.”
As we speak, we are being owed three to five months salaries, same as the pensioners. This is nothing but a waste of money.”
