Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has stated that an employee verification exercise uncovered names of babies in the payroll of Shani Local Government Area.

The monthly salaries and allowances paid to fake employees including the babies were reportedly siphoned by corrupt officials.

Zulum disclosed this at the Menwara Cultural Festival in Shani Town on Saturday.

The governor said the verification exercise was meant to sanitize the civil service by removing phony employees from the payrolls but people who are against it staged protests in Shani.

“Let me inform you that in the end of the verification exercise, names of babies were found in the payrolls while N19 million was paid to fake employees in Shani Local Government Area monthly. It was discovered that one family alone has 300 fake employees and if this trend continues, I am afraid, Shani LGA may not be able to pay the monthly salaries of its employees, in the future,” the governor said.

He said he had held a meeting with the Emir of Shani, Alhaji Muhammad Nasiru Mailafiya and other stakeholders over the protest and directed the Commissioner of Local Government and Emirate Affairs, Sugum Mai Mele to verify the exercise and reenlist employees with genuine certificates and those erroneously dismissed from service.

He also said job offers meant for the natives of Shani were sold by fraudulent officials at N250,000 each thereby depriving unemployed graduates job opportunities.

He further said people with teaching qualifications will be employed as teachers in public schools soon.

The governor later shared dry season farming inputs to 1,750 farmers in Shani, Bayo and Hawul LGAs.

He said each farmer received a water pump, a bag of fertilizer, a small bag of rice and maize seeds each as well as herbicides and pesticides.

He urged the farmers to use the items judiciously and said more farmers will receive farm inputs next year.

This kwarruption in Nigeria is really endemic.

Corruption is the way of life for some people.

This country is gone. Babies o. Heads should roll for that. If nobody pays for the consequences then Mr Governor is just all talk and doing it to be politically different.

So those babies have account number also?

Hunhunnn... Still waiting for the numbers of babies wey dey federal government payroll

This is corruption

So we now have baby workers in naija. Well I am not surprised, we know that the system is corrupt and we know criminals in agbada are running the show of corruption.

Some of the owners of those names are still in their respective fathers' balls.

And just like their EFCC counterpart with a curious CV, they'd have 30 years of work experience whilst being just 26 years of age.

Na me enroll them for bvn

Nigerian thing.

Just like Tundun Abiola of Arise TV said, Governor Babagana Zulum is doing the Lord's work and must be protected at all cost. This man is a presidential material.

E shock you?
If ghost workers are added on the payrolls, is it the names of living humans as babies that cannot be added? In a country where corruption is endemic, starting from the federal level, anything to loot the state treasury is possible.

Lol fear northerners

Nija

That family with 300 fake names in the payroll of the local government freak me out! What audacious an act! It can only be up there sha. No mentioning of prosecution of the accused and those that facilitated such evil acts? Wailing and gnashing of teeth time is coming soon when the country is Balkanize or crude oil is relegated to yesteryears!

Maxymilliano:

Why can't death penalty be introduced if you're caught wanting as regards corruption? This country is not working at all.

Vichot:

Useless country

That's the 'Ghost worker' syndrome that afflict every section of Nigeria activities, down to Local government level.
This governor must be a stranger in Nigeria.
Very sad.
Some people will come and pretend now as if it's peculiar to Borno alone.
