Oyo suspends payment of over 16,000 staff salaries
Oyo State Government has suspended the payment of 16,532 employees due to irregularities that was discovered during the state employee verification exercise.

This was discovered after a forensic computerised data audit for 100,250 workers in the state by Nigeria Interbank Settlement Systems Plc (NIBSS), conducted in all the state Ministries, Department and Agencies (MGAs) and state and local government workers.

The Secretary to Oyo State Government, Alhaji Olalekan Alli, disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing journalists alongside the Head of Service, Soji Eniade and the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication and Strategy, Yomi Layinka on the outcome of the employee verification exercise.

He said the verification exercise was not intended to witch-hunt the workers but to eliminate fraud in the government payroll system by ensuring that only identified, deserving and regular employees receive salaries.

He said, “NIBSS after their audit discovered “5,795 employees with mismatched names, 4371 employees’ banks account with no Bank Verification Number (BVN),3,635 invalid employees’ bank accounts, 1,665 employees that have passed retirement age and 645 employees with multiple salary into multiple accounts, among others.”

“In all, 16,532 employees out of a total 100,250 analysed were found to have such issues requiring further clarification. Government has decided that the salaries of the 16,532 employees as noted be immediately suspended immediately pending further investigation. In effect they have only been identified as having issues requiring further clarification.

“Indeed, panel is being set up by the Governor to create a platform for these categories of workers to present and explain their special circumstances. Those who successfully do so will of course get back on the authentic government’s payroll, while those who fail will obviously have to be thrown out"

There might still be some genuine staff among that number. They should be given an opportunity to defend themselves.

They are always seeing people' s irregularities

But neven seen theirs


***bunch of accursed b*stards

Ghost workers.
I was about to be deceived by the front page title.

Too many irregularities everywhere.

So why haven't you paid workers without any 'irregularity' for 4-5 months? Or does it take this long for verification? Incompetent lot.
Vagabonds in Power..

Because of Irregularities they say? What nonsense? If that's the case why don't they iron it out first before suspending their salaries?

Economy is bad, these folks are still firing people...just how much pain can one take?

One would have to ask what nigerians did to deserve this kind of treatment

Nigeria my country

Ghost workers

The worker's salaries are being suspended because of irregularities in their employment.

Either way...we have to make cuts in the service to survive. Nigeria does not have the money.

Ok,

Is this reason enough not to pay your workers salary for almost 6months?

Heartless bastards

brown roof republic pay una workers na. Shey we go wait until Ajimobi finishes kissing his wife in the public?

Good move

Does it mean the remaining workers can't be paid because of the irregularities that affect just 16,000 workers?

It's seems you did not read it very well.

Hmmm

You see!!!..

Here we go again!...

Workers are complaining already, "4-6months" this state is owing!.

Suspending all workers salary again?!

Wickedness of the highest Order!...

The Future here is FADING...

The title though! (Oyo Government Suspends Salary Of
16000 Workers) as if he has being paying the regular ones. Ajimobi is just a wicked soul that acts in a wicked way and nobody cautions him. The last salary he paid me was November salary and he is here talking ghost workers and setting up a panel. So, until these people are verified we should not expect any pay? we are in the sixth month of no pay, at least he should pay the regular workers first. How on earth does he expect us to survive in this period of hike in everything. sobs

He should pay those without issues now. . .
why use an excuse of few irregularities to deny others of their right. . .

The most useless governor ever in the history of Oyo is the incumbent one.
