Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno on Wednesday revealed that over 10, 000 ghost workers out of the 25,000 civil servants have been uncovered in the state’s work force.

That means 4 in 10 civil servants are ghost workers.

Speaking in a radio and television broadcast in Maiduguri, he said the workers were uncovered after a verification to determine the actual size of the state’s work force.

“We set up a high powered committee chaired by the Secretary to the State Government to carry out a verification of the state civil service,” he said.

Shettima said that the committee verified only 19,763 workers out of the 25,000 workers on the state payroll.

“As of today, 11, 397 workers have been dully captured as being bonafide staff of the state.

“Others — about 7,392 — workers have yet to be captured, out of which 4,000 workers have issues with their banks.

”There are also about 3,000 workers who failed to comply with the guidelines on the filling the verification forms,” he explained.

The governor said he had directed the committee to sort out all those issues within one week to enable the state to pay those workers already captured.
