NO fewer than 14,000 ghost workers have been discovered at the local government areas of Benue State.
Among those identified as ghost workers, according to the interim report on local government salary automation exercise carried out by Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, were under-aged children.
Oblivious of their action, the under-aged children who were said to be in their teens, according to the report, were said to have appeared for screening exercise.
The Special Adviser on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr Solomon Wombo, who disclosed this to council chairmen during their joint meeting on Friday, added that out of the purported 29,000 workers in the 23 council areas of the state only 16,000 have genuine letters of employment.
The outcry by the local government workers to ensure the implementation of minimum wage to them prompted the bureau to embark on staff audit. At the moment, about N4billion was said to be the wage bill of council workers in the state.
Mr Wombo disclosed that a joint committee will be sent out to verify and confirm the authenticity of the report for onward presentation to the governor. He cautioned the chairmen to resist the temptation of carrying out new employment especially now that their tenures were getting to an end.Related Articles:
