We will see that the given statement is true.
It is the amount of work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point (usually Earth) to a given point against an electric field. This is a scalar potential
A field that acts on charged objects, applying a force that is the charge of the object times the magnitude of the electric field. This is a vectorial field.
So the electric potential is a scalar that only depends on the position, while the electric field needs to have a direction (because it is a field, and because the direction of the force depends on the direction of the field).
Thus the statement is correct, the electric potential is a scalar potential, so it has a sign and magnitude, while the electric field is vectorial, so it has magnitude and direction.
