Kogi State Govermor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has said that the committee handling the ongoing workers screening at both state and local government levels discovered mind-boggling acts perpetrated by civil servants.

The governor while addressing a crowd in Okene, headquarters of the central senatorial district of Kogi State on Saturday during a reception organized for him, he decried the ghost workers’ syndrome.
He said the screening committee uncovered how a single person included “as many as 300 ghost workers in the payroll of a local government” at the detriment of development of the council area.

He said his administration will not spare the perpetrators after the ongoing screening exercise.

According to him: “It is ridicule to discover that a single person without an iota of fear of God placed as much as 300 ghost workers on the payroll of a local government”.

He added that after the screening exercise, it is only the actual workers that will receive salaries from the state and local governments.
