Lagos recovers N13m from accounts of dead staff
The Lagos State Government has recovered N13 million paid into accounts of dead colleagues and overpaid salaries of staff in its ministries and parastatals.
This is just as it had demolished 12 buildings in the state in a move to prevent occurrence of building collapse.
This was contained in a document obtained from the state government on activities of its Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) during the third quarter of 2017.
It was disclosed in the document that the recovered N13 million belong to deceased staff, those that had stayed beyond their stipulated retirement date and those who were over paid monthly salary.
