Members of Kogi State House of Assembly took turns to appraise the process and final report of the 1-year long Kogi State Staff verification exercise today.

The appraisal, which lasted for three hours, was in response to a motion of urgent public importance moved by the member representing Igalamela-Odolu state constituency Dr Friday Sanni Makama.

The Kogi State review and screening committee has been directed to submit its report to the kogi state house of Assembly within the next twenty four hours. The motion was seconded by the lawmaker representing Lokoja II state constituency, Honourable Idris Ndako.

In the motion which the lawmaker titled “Save the Soul of Kogi Workers”, Makama said he was constrained to move this motion considering the overwhelming evidences of non-payment of state and local government workers in the state and the consuming suffering that is perpetually leading to high poverty status, disease, and death of their people.

He stated before his colleagues that the screening that started since the inception of the current administration has lingered on without an end. Honourable Makama expressed concern that both the initial failed exercise by the screening committee and the re-screening exercise by the second committee were both incapacitated, hence failed to deliver workers in the state from the current unbearable situation.

“The question one is forced to ask therefore is whether Kogi state and local government workers are being owed salaries. If no or yes, then we should be able to situate the idea behind the disbursement of bailout fund squarely and to what purpose”, he said.

“The fact stares into our faces that the people have lost total confidence in the entire screening exercise considering the complexities and complications that deliberately, either by act of omission or commission that has brought the state into a mess.

“In this circumstance, this house has a duty to salvage the people and the state from breakdown of law and order, and avoiding more suffering, diseases and deaths”, Makama added.


The Igalamela-Odolu lawmaker frowned at the role played by the governor’s aides concerning the problem at hand and also his Chief of Staff, Mr. Edward Onoja when he granted an interview to channels television.

He lamented that, “the response of the media aides to the governor did more harms than good. Their reactions to the protests by workers of the state owned tertiary institutions, particularly Kogi State Polytechnic lecturers is unbecoming.

“The reaction of chief of staff to the governor, simply put, is disturbing. Not only to me but to this August assembly that represents the conscience of the people. His reaction that represents the conscience of the people. His reaction at the channels television, describing the protest ‘as baseless and politically motivated’ is simply denying the agitation of the people and salary arrears upon which the bailout fund was accessed”.

Makama prayed that, considering the prevailing circumstance of several plans of workers at all fold to embark on an indefinite strike, there is need for the house to resolve that the entire screening exercise be suspended and that the state government be enjoined to commence immediate payment of salaries to all civil servants, both at the state and local government level pending the outcome of the ad-hoc committee set up by the house to understudy the whole exercise and report back to the house as urgent as possible.

In a three hour deliberation in the floor of the hallow chamber, members took turns to condemn the just concluded screening exercise embarked upon by the current administration.

According to member representing Olamaboro, Hon. Linus Eneche, most workers in the state spent Christmas in hunger. He called the attention of his colleagues to the need to bring back lives to sufferings workers in kogi state.

“It is not that people has been sent out of job, but the state has been thrown into a mess”, he said.

He appealed to the house to summon the screening committee to appear before the assembly in a bid to explain the criteria used for the screening exercise.

Hon. Godwin Osuyi, member representing Ogori-Magongo said the screening committee has misled the government.

“Our health sector is begging for alms. As the chairman, House committee on health, I toured most of the health centres and they are short of staff and drugs. Where do we fallback to? Is it gbogbonishe?

According to the Majority Leader, Hon. Mathew Kolawole, the situation on ground is worrisome.

According to him, “most of us in this hallow chamber are afraid of to home. Wada lost election because he couldn’t pay workers salary. To me the screening exercise embarked upon by government is welcome but the idea behind it called for concern”.

“In College of Education (Technical), Kabba, they recently lost 67 students who moved to other schools because of lack of teachers”, Kolawole added.

Sunday Shigaba (Bassa) while commending the Governor for his determination to sanitize the state workforce, called for the probing of the screening committee members. He added that the screening committee members are incompetent.

“If they are found guilty that they are incompetent, their report should be declared null and void”, he said.

Victor Omofaye (Ijumu) described the exercise as satanic while Moses Ododo called for the disbandment of the screening exercise.

Hassan Abdullahi representing Okura stated that the exercise failed to establish the relationship between screening and downsizing.

“An attempt to downsize, hiding under the guise of screening workers is uncalled for”, he said.

“Some of the people tagged as ghost workers are due to age declaration, change of names. Some families are very unfortunate to the point that the father, mother and children are affected. How did they want them to live? Did they want them to die? The idea behind this screening exercise is called downsizing and not hunting for ghost workers”, he added.

Rabiu Momoh Alfa representing Ankpa II said his committee clerk was declared as a ghost worker.

“This development has claimed lives of huge number of people in their various local government”, he lamented.

Deputy Speaker of the House, Honourable Aliyu Akuh said since the screening exercise began last year, it has hampered the progress of the state.

“What has been seen as a result of the screening exercise is a deliberate act to punish the people. It seems the mind of the committee is already made up right from the beginning. I think we have created new ghost workers in Kogi state, so we have broken another record.”

Ruling on the matter, the Speaker Ahmed Imam said motion like this is bound to generate heat. He however directed the joint committee on establishment, judiciary, pension and local government to study the report when submitted and report back in one week.

This is a good one from the governor, I have a friend who work in Lagos and still earn salary in kogi state, what I love most about the governor is the system he adopted by paying local government workers directly from the state, No more allocation of certain amount to local government's were certain group of God father's we take their own shear's first before deliberating on the percentage of the amount that we be paid to the workers that are doing the job.

Their are set of pple like that but the governor spend alot and he his saying he dont hav money to pay more workers.. Their workers i know they started work since 1999 and their name appeared on the uncleared list the first time they went to complain and their error was corrected and they still appear on uncleared list thats the one they released yesterday mrnin. Pple that was even cleared since that hav been collecting salary since, most of them appeared on the uncleared list yesterday.. Now who are the cleared workers??

Vickysnipe147:
Everybody here is blaming the governor but truth be told, there are so many ghost workers in Kogi state.... I did my NYSC at one of the Kogi state LGA as CLO and u don't see people come to work except when they want to pay. I was around when they initiated this screening and
I saw the crowed that came for the screening and the secretariat was packed full. many of the workers stay at Abuja, Lagos and so many other places while the DPM had his own list of employees, they use their name to embezzle money. I even saw one woman that the LGA schedule officer told me that she hasn't come to work for over 2 years and her office was close to mine. so don't blame the Governor because I support him on this one.

Not that no one is supporting him on the screening but how can a governor be doing screening for one full year without completion?? I heard that the screening commitee are collecting ten thousand per day, how do u think the screening will end?? Pple that scale through the first screening they did around november their name now fell back to unclear list yesterday mrnin. Even pple that went to complain around that november they told some that their error was bvn number and they gave the screening commitee member their bvn still their name appeared on uncleared list yesterday. Who ar the pple manipulating the screening list or his he the one purposely doing this to save money for his second term We kogites are tired...

Workers of the Kogi State government have reportedly embarked on a protest in the capital following the release of the results of the ghost workers screening exercise.

According to a report by Tribune, the workers protested the results of the screening exercise which the Kogi State Government embarked upon last year on Monday, January 16, 2017.

It was further reported that the protest erupted after some workers of the Lokoja local government area expressed dissatisfaction and anger for being screened out.

The protest, it was also reported has created palpable fear and anxiety in the other 20 local government areas as workers await the result of cleared workers.

Trouble started at the Lokoja local government area secretariat in the morning when some staff members that resumed for duty discovered that the list of those that were successful and unsuccessful at the screening had been pasted on the wall of one of the offices.

Protesting workers, who were prevented from causing havoc by stern looking security operatives, claimed over 300 workers had been screened out and referred to as ghost workers by the state government.

The aggrieved workers reportedly marched to the state secretariat where they locked up the premises, made bonfires and kept chanting various anti government songs while making human and vehicular movement impossible in the area.

The protest reportedly disturbed free flow of traffic but remained peaceful as the presence of the combined team of the men of the regular police, the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS), the Department of State Security (DSS) and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) did not allow the protest to go violent.

There are some situations where you find yourself using the phone of a friend, colleague or your significant other. For some people, this may be very uncomfortable because they don't like someone else going through their phones. This is because they store personal information that is not meant for the eyes of just any random individual. And definitely, there are individuals who have the knack for checking other people's phone. What are they looking for? This said, if you find somebody phones in your hands,I share 5 things you should never do.


Do not pick the phone without permission

In some love relationships where trust is absent, the tendency of checking phone without express permission is very high. They check received calls, pick calls and read private messages which are not supposed to be the case. This actions rather than remove the cheating suspicion usually intensify it. Beyond relationships, it is awkward to pick someone else's phone or calls without their permission.

Don’t guess the password

If you do not know the password, don't bother to guess the password. This is because if you enter the wrong password, the phone will be locked temporarily. Due to your actions, the owner of the phone has to spend money to unlock. Why not just ask them for the password?

Don't use their data

Your friend briefly hands you his phones and the next thing you is to freely use their data to download files and check your emails. You completely forgot that it is not your phone. So, don't use someone else's phone data or WiFi without their consent.

Don’t go through their photos

There are all sorts of things that people save on their phones including private photos, videos, and documents. So, if someone hands you their phones, it is not an opportunity to go through their pictures because you may see images that are not meant for your eyes. If you do this, you may end up jeopardising your relationship with the owner of the phone.

Don’t sign out their social media account

You should not sign out the social media accounts of your friend in a bid to sign in yours. Your friend may not remember their passwords because you do not expect them to sign out from their social media accounts or emails when it is their phone.

Let me add mine

* do not go through their socail media chats

* do not go through their message

I dont even like collecting some one phone.
