The governor of Osun state, Ogbeni Aregbesola in a bid to further the endless screening of workers in Osun State is demanding for their BVN. Workers in Osun state who have been subjected to series of neck-breaking screening exercise since last year got a shocker this last week when the Ogbeni demanded for their BVN without explaining what he intends to do with it. Workers were instructed to get a print-out of their BVN and bio-data from their banks and submitted same to designated places. The BVN is personal and should be kept same. Banks in Osun are now making quick money as they are charging between N200 to N1000 for each print-out. It should be recalled that workers were subjected to five-stage rigorous screening in 2015 when they did bio-metric capturing and even asked to submit copies of their primary school certificates. Are these calculative attempts to frustrate the workers who are currently receiving half or quarter salary for the past 9 months out of the service?

It's an attempt to root out ghost workers and corruption

Nothing is wrong with it if it's aim at fishing out the ghost workers. This is a right step. I learnt that FG is using BVN to fish out ghost workers based on the info gave by Minister of Finance. It's a good development. The corruption in civil servants is bigger than the alleged Dansukigate. We should rally round the government in any genuine efforts to minimize waste
