No fewer than 6,280 ghost workers and pensioners have been identified by the Local Government Staff and Pensioner Audit Committee set up by the Governor of Enugu. The ghost workers will be probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC).

Mr Ogbuagu Anikwe, the Commissioner for Information, disclosed this on Saturday in Enugu while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting held on Friday night.

Anike said that the committee was able to discover a total of 6,280 ghost workers and pensioners at the end of the exercise.

He gave the breakdown as 2,818 ghost workers in the nominal roll of local government councils’ staff and another 3,462 ghost pensioners.

“A committee headed by the speaker of the state house of assembly discovered 2,818 ghost workers in the nominal roll of local government council’s staff and another 3,462 ghost pensioners,” he said.

He said that the ghost workers and pensioners had been weeded out from the nominal rolls of local government councils and pensions board.

The commissioner said that the State Executive Council had authorised the Commissioner for Local Government Matters to hand over verified list of workers and pensioners to appropriate quarters.

Anikwe said that the governor also directed the committee to fish out the particulars of the ghost workers and pensioners and to send same to the ICPC for further probe.

Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu had directed that the particulars of the affected individuals that defrauded the state over the years should be revealed and forwarded to the commission.

The state government had earlier set up the committee headed by the speaker of the state house of assembly, Chief Edward Ubosi to look into the matter.

The committee was to verify local government workers and pensioners with a view to strengthening the accounting system of the various councils and pensions board. (NAN)

The ghost workers will be probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission...

Maybe a competent ghost lawyer will defend them...

Enugu? Aiit...

I can bet the entitlements of these ghosts are more regularly paid than the the actual workers.

This is what happens when Ps & Is are at the helms of affairs.

Issorite

hmmmm

Ghost workers? Who identified them

watch as ipob sympathizers will storm this thread screaming fight against Biafra.
Are Biafrans programmed to love crime?

Ipob wif dirty mind... na them corrupt pass. Despite all this their scam efforts. They keep shouting Biafra. Jez pity for them... by the Anambra are killing enugu. And imo divorcing ebonyi

In Nigeria we catch ghosts

How much pension or salary re they collecting sef that's causing all these brouhaha


I think we should start from the top

Buhari has been missing for over 2 months and still is being paid salary hence should be equally prosecuted or at least his state of health made public.
I bet if it's a civil servant now, he will be requested to bring his doctors report to substantiate his claims of ill health.
For all I care, buhari could be dead or just flexing with tax payers money.


Then we should move down to people like saraki and godswill apabio who earns salaries as sinators and still collects pensions as former governor.
That is another form of ghost working.

'm not saying the situation is a good one but in terms of Justice, there should be no sacred cow. How many of those aforementioned people has been arràined before icpc or efcc
mtcheeeeew

It's extremely difficult to find an honest person in this country!

Dishonesty has become the order of the day.

Gburu-Gburu is waking up from slumber


He is equally using Capital territory workers to cleanse and open up new market and main market


Enugu gad'ma oyi

This is what they were doing during GEJ era and wanted to continue but were restricted by Buhari. That was the reason they hated Buhari so much.

Yoruba's waiting for any zoo chanter to surface

Nice one...just hope 6,280 real unemployed youths are brought in to take their place
