As part of efforts to rid the civil service of ghost workers, the verification committee set up by the Bauchi state government says it has discovered the names of children between eight and ten years old as ‘teachers’ on the state government’s payroll.

The state accountant general, Abubakar Gabi disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday, March 14.

Gabi explained that 4,500 state civil servants out of the 33,000 inherited by the present administration in the state were ghost workers adding that 7,300 local government workers out of the 27,000 handed over by the last administration were ghost workers.
He noted that 7,300 teachers out of the 29,000 teachers handed over by the last administration were also discovered to be ghost teachers.

“We have discovered that names of children between eight and ten years of age appeared as ‘teachers’ on the payroll of the state. “We also discovered that some of the pensioners duplicated their payment papers; had the same names, same BVN, same GSM numbers and same account numbers but bearing different photographs attached

“Again we discovered instances where deceased families who had earlier submitted death certificates of their heads and were paid bulk pension entitlements, fraudulently working their way back and are still collecting pensions.

“We have so far discovered over 19,000 ghost workers while only 7,000 pensioners out of the alleged 14,000 pensioners have turned up for screening,” he revealed.
