The News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that about 12,000 ghost workers were identified
during the local government workers verification.
Adamawa Government has said
that no worker has been sacked by government as being speculated.
A statement on Monday
signed by the state Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmad Sajoh, said there
was nothing like plan to sack workers employed by previous administrations.
“The attention of Adamawa
State Government has been drawn to a false, malicious and unfounded rumour
making rounds that Adamawa State Government under Senator Muhammadu Umar
Jibrilla has sacked all workers employed by the previous governments in the
state.
“This is totally false.
However, if reference is made to the outcome of Local Government workers
verification, then it is necessary to observe that certain anomalies were quite
manifest and require remedies which were appropriately recommended.”
Sajoh said that government
had observed anomalies in the just-concluded local government staff
verification such as employment of under-aged children between three to 10
years.
He said no government would
fold its arms and watch such anomalies, adding that Gov Jibrilla had given
three months to any worker whose name was omitted in the verification to come
for confirmation.
He noted that the
verification was not to sack workers but to ensure “a smooth payment of
salaries at all levels devoid of the corrupt systems of the past.”
