Abia State government has debunked that the state government sacked some directors of the state owned broadcasting; Broadcasting Corporation of Abia State (BCA).
News emerged weekend that the state government sacked 8 staff members of the BCA, located at Ogurube Station Layout, in Umuahia, the state capital.
The government in a statement signed by the Senior Special to the governor on media, Mr. Ferdinand Ekeoma on Monday debunked the news that the state government sacked workers of the state broadcasting media.
Mr. Ekeoma in the statement said “In the last few days, some opposition elements have been spreading false information on social media that 8 Directors were sacked in the Broadcasting Corporation of Abia (BCA).
“This is to emphatically state that the report is false, baseless and unfounded.
“It’s part of the ongoing anti people and anti Abia campaign of calumny being driven by some embittered opposition elements.
“Ordinarily, we would have ignored this brazen act of of irresponsibility like we had done on many occasions, but because our silence could make unsuspecting members of the public assume that the allegation is true, we thought it appropriate to put the record straight.
“There are 8 Directors who just proceeded on their retirement leave in line with Civil service rules, and none of them was sacked.

“In spite of the intense but reckless media onslaughts geared towards inciting the public against the government through false misrepresentations by some persons who hitherto profiteered from the past corrupt system in Abia, the present government shall continue to strive to reform and sanitise the Civil Service with a view to creating a functional and robust Civil Service that would outlive the present government and continue to serve as the engine room for good governance and sustainable development.”
