Lagos Council Chairman Denies Enforcing N650K ‘Aso Ebi’ on Staff For Her 50th Birthday


The Executive Chairman of Ikosi Isheri Local Council Development area of Lagos, Mrs Samiat Bada, has denied she is forcing staff in her office to buy a N650,000 cloth for her 50th birthday coming up in December.

There were online allegations of compelling her staff members to buy the N650,000 fabrics for her forthcoming 50th birthday.

Addressing the media at the council secretariat, in Lagos today, Bada described the allegations as completely false and baseless.

She said, “I stand before you today to address the recent allegations that have been circulating on social media in which the writer claimed that I imposed an N650,000.00 Aso Ebi (traditional fabrics) on my staff.

“I want to categorically state that these allegations are completely false and baseless. Since assuming office, I have prioritized the welfare and working conditions of my staff,” she told NAN.

The chairman said she recently increased their welfare bonus from N4,000 to N10,000, a gesture aimed at acknowledging their commitment and motivation to their work.

Bada, however, admitted that her friends and associates from abroad were the ones that decided to choose the N650,000 fabrics among themselves to celebrate her birthday coming up in December 2023.

The chairman said there was no formal invitation to her staff, forcing them to contribute financially towards her 50th birthday celebration.
