Lagos state's monthly wage/salary bill


http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/news2.php?k=3635

Lagos state's population is 20 million

Delta state's population is 5 million

Lagos state is the second largest employer of labor and civil service in West Africa after the FG of Nigeria.


Exactly what is going on here?


Answers please...

I think the state has an insane number of 'ghost workers' on its monthly payroll. The current governor once complained about it. Worst still, the state's debt profile as inherited by the current governor is staggering with little to show for it - N636billion.

Fact is, the state population numbers can not support the working population figures in that state.

How many working age folks do they have in that?

Mostly what they have are ghost workers, obviously...

This is simply impossible...it can be nothing other than an astronomical expansion of ghost workers....come on

Obviously, there some double Directors there on the payroll.

With the level of data gathering and IT obtainable, its very simple to tackle except if the NASS and Govt of the day is pleased with goast workers.

Moreso, when did Nigeria start 'touchlighting' state affairs? I think we are getting wiser, Kudos!

Ghost workers made up nothing less than 70% of the workforce.

My state ?

Delta State is cursed with leadership... Some states are just unlucky.

yea, this is for real ghost workers.

personally I knw abt 3people from that state in lagos earning monthly salary from their respective Local government.

Last year I meet a food vendor at abj also from that state earning monthly salary as well, yet they are all ghost workers hustling somewhere else.

Demdem:
Iboris legacy is still hunting that state. His dogs are still in charge. That state needs to be cleansed.

you have said it all...

The solution to the puzzle lies with the leadership of the state.Would they raise up to the occassion?Time will tell.

Ask them oh? What's Delta paying that Lagos is not paying 3 times its size?

I have relations living in port harcourt but earn salaries with Delta state government. The problem of absentee (not ghost) workers is huge, although you cant discard ghost (non existent) workers as well. If you carry out bio-metric verification, you will surprised that most of the workers will turn up. The civil service is so bloated that most of the absentee workers do not even have a desk. DESOPADEC is a typical example, if you go desopadec on days when every worker is expected to report to work, you will wonder how they are able to fit such huge number of worker into such a small building.

The overbloated workforce is a legacy left by Ibori and his cousin.

Problem of Ghost Worker is quite easy to elimininate, just carry out biometric verification and pay directly to bank accounts through e payment system. Absentee Worker is more complex, the Absentee worker has a valid employment letter, so sacking him wiill create legal problems not to talk of labour relation problems. Sacking or retiring all of them would require payment of compensation, gratuity and pension running into billions of naira.

Ghost workers,ghost workers and ghost workers.

If you want to know why people are ready to die for Ibori,there's your answer up there.

Delta State also has a special salary scale for indigenes in the Diaspora that come back to serve their fatherland. I'm talking about a seven-figure salary every month.

There's also the issue of overbloated number of appointments by the executive and the legislature in the state.

In spite of the prevailing austere economy, Delta State Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has engaged about 1, 500 appointees in his four months old administration.
The state governor has also appointed 25 commissioners and about an equal number of special advisers.
The commissioners were entitled to at least five aides, while the governor and his deputy have over five executive assistants, hundreds of senior special assistants, special assistants and personal assistants, appointed into special duties, media/press, protocol, security and other political offices.
Okowa has also appointed a 31-man State Advisory Council and filled appointments into most of the boards, parastatals and agencies of the state government.
So far, the cumulative number of appointments made by the executive arm of the state’s government was over 1, 500.
This number is separate from the appointments made in the legislature, where the speaker is entitled to over 50 aides, deputy speaker, about 40 aides, and the 27 legislators have five aides each.

Bros call for bio metric, they will not be present, I tell you, one they dnt even know the ministry or parastatal they belong to, talkless of knowing where there office is.

The local government jst go to the community leaders and ask they to summit so so number of name for employment,
my guy send his name from lagos, a leader in their community call his dad, that all and inform him abt it, and his name was sent in. that all.

so they are ghost workers, if you talk of absentee workers, bros come abj and see federal civil service for that one. then you will knw the difference.

My brother, biometric verification will only succeed in eliminating a tiny faction of these absentee workers, those that live too far from delta or do not have informants that notify them on whats going on in government. Most Absentee workers have a valid employment letter and are even expected to report to office once a while ( sometimes once in 3 - 6 months). I have a friend that his wife is an abentee worker with DESOPADEC, she earns up to N150,000/month and reports to office once every other month.

I do not know about your friend, maybe he is simply a ghost worker. It will be difficult being employed in the Delta civil service with employment letter and not know your office.

How is lagos the largest employer. Churches have more workers staff than lagos.

Lagos has just 1300 schools. This is where 90% of staffs are.

The salary of an average TTeacher is less than 70,000 naira

Less than 70,000 work for lagos

In west Africa. Some Churches have 25,000 branches ,if they have 4 staff. It is over 100,000 people


Lagos payes just less than 60 b naira on salary a year. If it's give it staff 70000. It does not to most staff.

Corruption is high in lagos.

GHOST WORKERS’ SCAM: Labour wants Okowa to punish culprits

on September 30, 2015


By Victor Ahiuma-Young

ASABA—DELTA State Council of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has called on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, of the state, to ensure that all those directly or indirectly involved in the criminal act of inflating the number of workers in the state to collect the salaries of non-existing workers to the detriment of the state, must be brought to book.


NLC factional chairman, Mr. Williams Akporeha, expressed shock about the disclosure by the state governor that he had just set up a committee to investigate why the state wage bill was higher than other states in the Niger Delta region that had more revenue resources, including higher federal allocation.

Answering questions from newsmen after the Christian inter-denomination thanksgiving service in Asaba, to commemorate Nigeria’s 55th independence anniversary, Akporeha, while responding to Governor Okowa’s disclosure the committee on ghost workers pleaded with the governor to make the finding of the committee public when it finished its work.

According to him, “my take on that is to urge Governor Okowa to let the committee make its findings public to expose the evil doers while the state government must ensure that it prosecutes all those found to be part of the cartel promoting ghost workers’ syndrome in the state to serve as a deterrent. We disapprove of a situation where some individuals are receiving monthly salaries without working for it while others work in one place but receive salaries in two other places. This is callous, wicked and inhuman.

“Congress is ready to support government in this fight and the time to act is now. Labour cannot continue to fold its hands while funds that are supposed to have been channelled by government to enhance workers welfare are being diverted by criminal elements within the system for their selfish purposes. We in NLC want to urge the state government not to hesitate to seek partnership with Congress in its effort to purge the system and rescue the resources from ghost workers.”

^^^^^ Explains it all. ALL GHOST WORKERS......

Hmmmmmmm

Delta state is like a treasure ship captured by condemned pirates.
Her story is so pathetic you will think it's in Afghanistan. Her bastardization and rape started with Ibori and this ruinous legacy is currently being sustained by a disciple of his, Dr Okowa.

Also look at debts for both states..


Lagos state with 20 million people has a debt profile of N418 billion/With significant proof on the ground per what was done with the money..

Delta state with less than 5 million people has a debt profile of N700 billion/With zero proof on the ground per what was done with the largest state debt in Nigeria..


What a travesty..

leofab:
My state ?

How sad but sorry sha. You people should switch parties. O'tega will definitely do a beta job since it's now obvious Ogboru as no interest in rescuing the state from the PDP.
