FG Saves N250bn from Detection of Ghost Workers on Payroll
The federal government has salvaged more than N250 billion savings from the removal of ghost workers from the civil service payroll.
This information was contained in the 2017 to 2020 Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan (FCSSIP) launched recently by the Head of Service (HoS), Mrs. Winifred Oyo- Ita.
The document also enunciated government’s plan to enter into robust partnership with London-based non-government organisation, Mo Ibrahim Foundation, to fund initiatives to improve capability building in the civil service from 2017 to 2020.
According to her office, the saving was made possible through the launching of the payroll module with 400,000 civil and public servants already captured.
There are 1.2 million workers in the civil service, meaning that only 30 percent of the individuals are on the payroll module.
