Addressing the media at the council secretariat, in Lagos on Tuesday, Bada described the allegations as completely false and baseless.
The chairperson said those allegations were part of a deliberate attempt to blackmail her, tarnish her reputation and create unnecessary division within her administration.
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 prioritised the welfare and working conditions of my staff.”
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.
