By Osagie Otabor, Akure

Ondo State Government has said that it has no plan to downsize its workforce despite dwindling revenue occasioned by COVID-19 pandemic.

It said it does not want to add additional burden to its citizens

Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, who stated this on Friday, said finances of the state have been negatively affected just like every other state.

According to him: “No single state is insulated from the ravaging pandemic and its adverse economic effects.

“Revenue generation has to tow to the situation because only a productively engaged populace can earn revenue.

“It is natural for every segment of society to begin to prioritize its expenditure.”
