Ebonyi State Government has denied contracting and owing a consulting firm.
The State Commissioner for Information, Uchenna Orji, stated this during a press conference in Abakaliki, the state capital.
Orji noted that the claim by the Firm in court was baseless and unfounded, alleging that representatives of the organization had at various times, confessed it never had any contractual agreement with the state.
It enjoined the public to discountenance the claims by unscrupulous elements who are on a forum shopping over a baseless allegation of performing consultancy services for the government of the state.
