Jigawa Govt Uncovers 6,348 Ghost Workers

The Jigawa government has discovered a staggering 6,348 ghost workers on its payroll.

This massive fraud was uncovered during a staff verification exercise conducted by the state government.

The Commissioner for Information, Youths, Sports, and Culture, According to Mr. Sagir Musa, said the exercise revealed a significant number of non-existent employees who were receiving salaries and benefits.

The commissioner made this announcement in a statement released on Tuesday in Dutse.

He said the report of the Statewide Staff Audit Biometric Data Capture and Validation Exercise, showed that 6,348 ghost workers had been detected and saved over N314 monthly.

Musa said the State Excutive Council had studied the report and approved establishment of the Continuous Capture Centre (CCC) at the Office of the Head of Civil Service.
