FG probes 11,000 ghost workers

Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun yesterday revealed that 11,000 potential ghost workers have been identified in the payroll of the Federal government and are now being investigated. Adeosun made the disclosure while speaking to state house correspondents after the Federal Executive Counsil meeting in Abuja.

According to Adeosun, this disclosure was made possible by the routine audit of all ministries, agencies and parastatals ordered by President Buhari.

This discovery comes after 23,000 ghost workers were discovered in February, saving the Federal government N2.29 Billion in salary
"On the issue of the ghost workers, of the 23,000 that we have removed from our payroll, we are now investigating another potential 11,000. Again we are using computer techniques to identify those who we need to investigate, so we are now looking at the second batch and as we resolve those cases we would inform you of the amount saved and the number of people removed”she said

There're still so many of them undercover...

Ok.
It's not just about informing us of the amount saved, but putting the money to good use for Pete's sake

The economy is harsh, yet salaries are not improving. Employment opportunities are no where to be found. That's is grossly unfair

Madam Minister of Labour, sorry Finance, can you please focus the same effort to getting the economy working and give us an economic agenda! all these ghost worker thing should now be passed to the appropriate ministry of Labour (i.e. your collegue Mr. Ngige) to drive. We need economic policies to save the Naira and increase earning from export and local consumption.
Enuff of these ranting on lesser issues while the bigger issues are left undone.

I've never heard this dimwit talk about fiscal policy and her plans, as the finance minster, to address the deplorable state of our economy. All she talks about is ghost works, like that's the core function of a finance minister. Goes to show how incapable and unqualified she is.

Yes! Good one.

Some of the crooks may even be among those shouting "change, we want change.... GEL and Deizanni are thieves"!

Moving on said...

Madam Adeosun, That is why they are called "ghost". Just remove them from FG payroll rather than drawing attention to yourself and wasting govt money on unnecessary investigation.
Besides, It is almost a year now, and Madam Adeosun has done nothing than to catch ghost workers. Please what is this government up to?

nathan said...

Nice. Move, hope patience Jonathan was one.

we wish!!!! But it's not gonna happen my brother; I see a lot of sentiment in his effort. Wish he could go beyond that, a lot of corrupt politicians have suddenly become Saint just because they are in APC. We want them tried also
