FG Removes 23,846 Ghost Workers From Payroll

The Federal Government says it has removed 23,846 non-existent workers from its payroll. This is contained in a statement from the Federal Ministry of Finance on Sunday said “this figure represents

a percentage of the number of non-existent workers who had hitherto been receiving salary from various ministries, departments and agencies.”The statement added that further investigation of other suspected cases will continue in conjunction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).” The removal of non existent workers from federal payroll and the savings on salaries was made possible because of the ongoing BVN-based staff audit and enrolment to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS)”, the statement said.
