The Yobe Government says a viral post credited to it on the approval of a new minimum wage is false and misleading.

This is contained in a statement by Mamman Mohammed, Governor Mai Mala Buni’s Director-General, Press and Media Affairs, issued in Damaturu 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 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,” Mr 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.
