Enugu
State Government has discovered and weeded out 6,280 ghost workers and
pensioners from the nominal rolls of Local Government Areas and its Pensions Board.
According to reports, Part of the discovery was the fallout of
the Committee that recently disbursed the first tranche of the Paris Club
Refund.
The
Committee headed by the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Edward
Ubosi, had discovered 2,818 ghost workers in the nominal roll of local
governments staff.
Briefing
newsmen after the meeting of the State Executive Council, the Commissioner for
Information, Ogbuagu Anikwe, disclosed that the Council authorized the
Commissioner for Local Government Matters, Chijioke Edeoga, to hand over the
verified names as the master list of workers and pensioners to concerned local
councils, the Local Government Commission and Pension Board.
According
to the Commissioner, the impact of this performance is already being felt by
Enugu State public sector workers who are promptly paid their salaries on the
25th day of each month, as well as pensioners and non-permanent workers who are
being promptly paid.
