Those ghost workers must have been employed by one of our presidents - Jonathan ,Yar'adua, or OBJ.

Apart from disengaging them, we need to understand the process that led to them being in the system in the first place and they should be made to refund all monies collected, all the pats ministers, HOD, etc should be held accountable

How can one even imagine ghost workers being employed by the President? The risk involved with the pocket money that's to be realised from such a petty move is chicken change - a risky move that can easily be unraveled when there are other coordinated means/avenues/deals that the President can implement to 'chop' better money. Some of you are just unimaginable...

In this kind of issue, look no further than the Head of Service of the Federation, Ministers, Permanent Secretaries or HODs of the various ministries involved... #Not everything has to do with the President. In example, The recent subsidy fraud by Oil Marketers - likely Coordinated by Petroleum Minister, senior NNPC staffs, Nigerian Ports Authority staffs, etc. Another example is the Pension Fund fraud

Minister for Finance and Economy said the Federal Government has so far removed 45,000 'ghost' workers from Fed Government pay roll:s :O >:O
My questions:
1. Have they arrested those who employed 'ghosts' when 'living' Nigerians don't have jobs?:]Y
2. Have they arrested those who have been paying or collecting the salaries of this Nigerian 'ghosts'?:/
3. Have measures been put in place to make sure that the 'ghosts' that have retired are not collecting Pension?#:-s
4. Where this 'ghost' workers counted in the last Census? If yes, did they vote in the last election?:s
5. Can 'living' Nigerian youths now take over those 45,000 jobs:]xx

God, help Nigeria abeg!cry

I raised that because I noticed that since 1960 we blame the president for even the basic things that we should blame ourselves. I can imagine that the HODs, perm secs and the other sharks that permeate this will open their mouths and say the President is not doing anything when they are sabotaging the governemnt to the tune of N118bn per year. Am sure that amount will go a long way in building Lagos-Ibadan.

THIS IS ORGANISED CRIME.

the subsidy fraud skyrocketed under GEJ's admininistration.
B4 him there were only 8 oil marketers and 350m was usually budgeted, but the number rose to 138 and the budget 1.4 trillion naira.
