From Ahmad Mohammed, Bauchi
Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed said his administration has saved the sum of N500 million from the ongoing staff verification in the state as part of his renewed efforts to address the problem of ghost workers in the state.
Governor Mohammed stated this on Tuesday while flagging off the distribution of empowerment items at Ganjuwa local government area of Bauchi State.
He said the ghost workers’ syndrome has affected the state negatively as it has crippled government programmes in the state and the money going to individual pockets.
