ABIA State Government is lamenting a large scale fraud in its local government system, saying that it has discovered about 300 workers who have falsified their age declaration to evade retirement.
The government has also unmasked a total of 1,642 workers in the 17 local government councils who secured employment with fake certificates.
Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Charles Ogbonnaya, who disclosed this at an interactive session with journalists, blamed the atrocity on unnamed senior government officers who benefit from the fraud, but warned that the government would unmask them.
He also named Bende Local Government Council as one of the worst culprits in the state.
