Delta State governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has denied allegations of buying off State’s valuable assets or using persons or bodies fronting for him.
Speaking with pressmen on Monday, he said the concessioning of Asaba International airport and Delta Transport Services, operators of Delta Line, was to reduce the cost of doing business and bring efficiency in management of the business outfits.
Sen Okowa said, “today, government is vindicated by its action as the huge cost on government has been taken off her shoulders and the companies are well managed at the companies expense only.
“I did not know the airport concessionaire until the day he came to signed the necessary paperwork, stressing also that he was from the south west of Nigeria”, he said.
