Kogi: Sacking Of Civil Servants Under The Guise Of Ghost Workers Unfair-pdp by Barryp(op): 9:01pm On Feb 26, 2016

The Peoples Democratic Youth Frontiers, has
accused the Kogi State governor, Yahayah
Bello of illegally sacking civil servants in the
state in the name of weeding out ghost
workers. A statement issued by its coordinator, Usman
Okai Austin on Friday wondered why the
governor decided to disengage thousands of
workers who have been on salaries for
more than three years. According to him, “The new trend of sacking
workers and labeled them ghost is
unacceptable and highly condemnable. We
are watching.” “Already, the names of many civil servants
have been excluded from the screening. He
didn’t work for the election, so he can
afford to disorganise the state. All the action
taken so far show that the governor has a
hidden agenda. The statement cited instances like Radio Kogi,
where 120 workers were reportedly denied
of screening form. “These people were employed in 2014 and
have since been on salary,” he said. “In the Ministry of Works, 80 workers
denied the screening form. Similarly, in the
Ministry of Health, 120 others were denied
the screening form. He also noted that in water board, over 93
persons were tagged ghost workers and
denied the forms. The statement added “The APC government
is unleashing hardship on our people in the
state. “We are calling on a well-meaning kogites
to speak against this action. “We recommend that the civil servants with
government approval should be screened
without sentiment and out right
discrimination. “The Governor should be careful with
wrong advise, Kogi belongs to all not one
section or categories of individual,” he
warned.
