10 Dec Goddy Jedy Agba denies approving statement on sacking of AEDC management
Goddy Jedy Agba, minister of state for power, says he didn’t approve a statement credited to him and signed by Ofem Uket, his media aide.
On Tuesday, Uket had said that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the sack and replacement of the management of the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC).
“The presidential directives as conveyed also directed the Bureau of Public Enterprises to set up a new management team of the AEDC,” the statement had read.
Reacting in a statement issued on Thursday, Jedy Agba said it is rather “unfortunate” that a press statement from his office did not reflect his official position as he was not consulted before press time.
He said the press and public relations unit of his office “did not consult him before going to bed.”
The minister stated that he has directed all publications for print and electronic media to pass through him for clearance henceforth to forestall a repeat of the mess created.
