NewsNigeriaPoliticsEnugu Govt Refutes Report on Sale of ESBS, Water Corporation, Others

The Enugu State Government has issued a statement regarding a report circulating on social media about the sale of assets belonging to the Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS), Enugu State Water Corporation, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, and the State Liaison Office in Lagos.

Refuting the report, the Commissioner for Finance and Economic Development, Dr. Nathaniel Urama, in a press statement, said the publication did not emanate from either the Enugu State Government or the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development.

Urama explained that the state government, in line with extant laws and due process, intends to dispose of some unserviceable assets located within the affected government facilities, not the facilities or institutions themselves.

The Commissioner further disclosed that interested bidders will be required to obtain details of the assets from the Ministry of Finance and submit their bids in accordance with due process.

“The information is erroneous, and it is neither from Enugu State Government nor the State Ministry of Finance. We, therefore, advise the general public to please ignore the message circulating in the media,” Urama said.

The Commissioner urged the public and media organizations to verify information through official government channels before sharing or publishing it, warning against the spread of fake news and deliberate misrepresentation of government activities, reiterating that any official notice on the disposal of the unserviceable assets would be duly published through the appropriate channel.
