Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Nobody: 10:26am On Dec 15, 2011 |
Dr. Okonjo-Iweala disclosed that the biometrics exercise in the police, brought the wage bill from N1.5 billion per month to a mere N500 million, per month, an indication that a huge N1 billion was going to ghost workers and ghost pensioners each month. She said that the federal government would pull through with the exercise which she said was critical in reducing recurrent budgets, as it has become evident that the payroll needed to be cleaned up. vanguardngr.com/2011/12/oil-subsidy-removal-jonathan-still-consulting-okonjo-iweala/ shocking!! Imagine if this is done to all govt agencies, ministries etc. Good try for Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iwiala. |

Maybe we need a biometric exercise in each Nigerian household. Nigerians are too corrupt, it is not just the police. |

Hooray for Biometrics. . . . Now I wonder how much it costs to have and keep Biometrics. If it is not expensive, it might be solution to government ghost workers as well. Since simpler solutions are a NO NO. |

I just wonder if they applied biometric identity management to personnel verification/authentication across the entire civil service and pension personnel.Untempered with we could be looking at savings well north of one trillon naira. I use the qualification untempered with because the faceless people in the upper echelons of the civil service administrative and management cader who for generations have plagued government payrolls with ghostworkers are still there : in charge or with their successors in place they might just introduce 21st century methods to a 20th century racket. |

kenis: very good! and nigerians would be saying they pay tax and they should be enjoying the benefits of their tax. nigerians don't pay tax to the government. it is the government paying taxes to the people. if the law enforcement arm like the police are eating 1 billion naira a month through ghost workers, i wonder what other ministries from the federal level to the state and to the local would be eating per month. it is now clear why that country is not working. the people are equally as guilty as the politicians stashing money in foreign accounts. |

Kudos to the govt For once they did what was "begging" to be done. |

Biometrics was also used by the Rivers State government and it helped save some hundreds of millions per month from the civil service. As much as the use of biometrics is applauded, i think its insufficient to just recount its gains and how much is being saved. Who were those that started and benefitted from this ghost worker scam? I believe that as much as there is need to use biometrics for basically evry government parastatal, there is also a strong need to investigate and prosecute those involved. |

With a hammer, all problems look like nails, I hope we dont see this as a silver bullet. There is still a need to investigate and kill off the cartels that did this in the first place. |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Claus(m): 1:46pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
True talk jephiano! The biometric exercise should be applauded. They should (and probably will) go a step further and prosecute those responsible for ghost workers, otherwise they'll keep looking for the next loop hole to exploit. N1bn saved by the govt is N1bn lost by a group of people who won't give up in looking for other ways to replace that income unless they are dealt with. |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Beaf: 1:48pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Claus: I am all for that, but it will mean arresting a full 90% of Nigerians. The place is a nest of corruption. |

Well done, Dr. Iweala. However, until such deeds are investigated, people prosecuted and jailed, we are still joking |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Kobojunkie: 2:04pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Boboedom: Okonojo Iweala is not responsible for this at all. She is only reporting on the result. |

The ratio of Nigeria's recurrent expenditure to total budget (over 70%) is too high and unacceptable. It is areas like this that have been pumping up the bills. The other part is to assess that the country is receiving value for the pruned down bill of N500m. Are all the police officers adequately and gainfully engaged? |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by llbhuds: 2:05pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Nigeria, hmmmmm |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Nobody: 2:06pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Imagine 1billion naira going into pockets of few corrupt officials of the Police force every month and these are the people responsible for arrest and prosecution of other criminals like them. Corruption virus in Nigeria has no chance of cure compare to HIV because any establishment you go you always find it there. Please, the names of the perpetrators should be made public and confiscate their ill gotten assets and send them to long jail unlike Bode George own. |

Awesome!!! I believe the system that initiated this move isnt dumb, they'll see it thru- prosecuting the defaulters |

Well done Dr. Okonjo Iweala, next stop should be custom services, FIRS, Nigeria Army and hopeful a biometric census. Accountability is necessary first step to riding the nation of corruption. |

Why is she stopping there? Who are the culprits? So-so noise. That was how she shouted 'GOVERNORS ARE STEALING. . .GOVERNORS ARE STEALING'. . .and the governors kept stealing till her azzze was sent packing. She has come again? Why she dey fear? Abi she nor sabi road to IG office? Ye-Ye woman! |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by thehomer: 2:53pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
66%? Wow. So Nigeria was paying more than double what she decided her police force was worth. Why isn't there some sort of investigation on where this money was going? Or is this too to be swept under the rug? |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by Reference(m): 3:00pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Beaf: Exactly. It is a scheme, a system involving many. Now I'm sure the thinking here will be that probably five to ten people are involved in this. Dig deeper and you may probably uncover five hundred to a thousand and when you look across the civil service in all cases of institutionalised graft you will be talking of proportions tens to hundreds of thousands. Let's not even talk of the private sector. Corruption is as pervasive as a to become sub-cultural. Now will you shut down the police because of N 1 billion and to what oath do we swear in new recruits. The answer is simple. Government may save a billion here and there from time to time but until collectively as a society we decide to let go, nothing will ultimately change. Good job Madam Iweala but |

Nigerian police is the purveyor of corruption in Nigeria. The whole police need cleansing to give the nation a new image. |
Re: Biometrics Exercise In The Police, Brought The Wage Bill From N1.5 Billion Per Month To N500 M. by knzguru(m): 3:29pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
I suppose no one has considered that the bill for the biometric exercise may be more than all the money being saved, I won't be surprised. |
