Contrary to the reports that went viral last week, that Kosofe Local Government, under the administration of Barrister Moyo Ogunlewe, underpays its cabinet members. However, Kosofe Post can confirm that this is not the case.
The substantiated claims alleged that the council deducted N28,000 out of N328,000 in monthly take home pay of political appointees, particularly the supervisors.
