Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Abia State Government has expressed dismay at the rise in the vandalism of public schools and other public property in the state.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Okey Kanu, stated this sentiment at Government House, Umuahia, while briefing journalists on the outcome of this week\u2019s executive council meeting.<\/p>\n

He stated that the state government is unhappy with the situation.<\/p>\n

Kanu advised traditional rulers, presidents-general of town unions, and other stakeholders to protect public properties in their communities.<\/p>\n

Kanu announced that arrangements have been concluded to enforce the war against street trading and illegal motor parks in Umuahia and Aba.<\/p>\n

He further disclosed that Governor Alex Otti will, on Thursday, launch the disbursement of one billion naira in interest-free revolving loans to 9,200 Abia residents across 184 wards in the state. This initiative, under the Abia State Cooperative Support Scheme, aims to support nano and micro businesses.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the briefing, the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Mike Akpara, denied the trending reports that he collects 10 million naira from Abia State coffers monthly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to categorically state here that the Commissioner of Finance does not take home 10 million naira monthly. It is not done anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to say that none of my colleagues take home such large sums of money; some reports claim they take home 5 million, and others 3 million naira monthly. There is nothing like that,\u201d he vehemently denied.<\/p>\n
