Government’s action ensured that the N13 billion taken monthly from the payroll between February and December 2016 was saved.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who disclosed this to State House correspondents in Abuja, yesterday, also said 11 persons championing the syndicate of ghost workers have been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for prosecution.
He said: “The flagship programme of Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to rid the system of fraud and instil good governance is on course.
‘’Through a notable initiative, the Efficiency Unit of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the government has embarked on the continuous auditing of the salaries and wages of government departments.
“When the the committee was constituted in February 2016, the Federal Government monthly salary bill was N151 billion, excluding pensions.
“Now, the monthly salary warrant is N138 billion, excluding pensions, which means that the government is making a monthly saving of about N13 billion. That is from February 2016 to date.
“The pension bill was N15.5 billion monthly as at February. Now it is down to N14.4 billion, which means average monthly saving is made of about N1.1 billion.”

*Things are starting to fall into place!
Now they can pay december salaries to workers in the Ministry.
ReplyDeleteNovember salary sef they never pay
DeleteLol. The more they remove Ghost workers, the higher the administrative expenditure of the budget.
DeleteIf they really honest,all the 50,000 ghost workers should have their accounts frozen afterall salaries are paid into accounts.
And EFCC should release the names of the 11 people let's shame them and their entire family. It's not only Dasuki and co that can be corruption celebrities..
I hope their relatives are on that list as if we do not know that they are the original ghost workers.
ReplyDeleteThey had better leave innocent people out of it.
Mscheww!!! *Runs to get cucumber for stephysofynsojuicy*
