Abuja Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) owners of Aso Radio and Television on Monday, debunked online report that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has neglected staff of the organisation.
In a statement issued by the acting Managing Director, Ajibola Akinwumi, described the report as false and subjective.
It explained that the minister had paid the salaries of pensionable staff of the corporation complete and up to date, October 2025.
The statement reads, “let it be understandable henceforth that Abuja Broadcasting Corporation runs an open administration and operates on a 24- hour basis on both Radio and Television.
“Most importantly, journalists across the world have all agreed that disinformation or fake news is not a viable option to contribute to nation building.
“Abuja residents have continued to praise the Minister Wike for his commitment to infrastructure development, describing him as a focused, transformative leader who keeps promises .
“To put the record straight, the Federal Capital Territory Administration under the able leadership of Barrister Nyesome Wike has paid the salaries of PENSIONABLE staff of ABC fully and up to date.(October, 2025).
Also there are available records with verifiable evidence that the Administration is making efforts towards uplifting the status of the organization.
“We are constrained to clarify a media report credited to an on-line publication, alleging that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesome Wike owed salaries of workers of the Abuja Broadcasting Corporation and neglected the organization.
“It is pertinent to state that nothing in the allegations could be further from the truth in every material particular.The allegations are incorrect, unfair and subjective”.
