Chairman of the committee constituted by Gombe
State Governor, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo for the
verification of all civil servants in the state, Aliyu
Kamara said the committee is expected to screen
no fewer than 19, 500 civil servants in the pay rolls
of the state government.
The chairman, who also revealed that there are
well over fourty thousand (40,000) civil servants in
the eleven (11) Local Government Areas of the
State, explained that the exercise is aimed at
blocking leakages in the finances of the State
Government.
He said the state government is expending very
huge sums over workers salaries at the expense of
people oriented projects that could be initiated and
executed by the State Government.
He explained that the exercise which began
yesterday is expected to last for a month even as
he doubted the possibility of concluding the
assignment within the time frame given by
Governor Dankwambo due to the large number of
the civil servants and the thoroughness of the
screening.
Though Aliyu Kamara refused to reveal findings so
far uncovered by the committee, he however said
most of those screened had discrepancies with
their dates of births and some other irregularities
and assured that government will make public the
findings of the committee.
Some of the civil servants who spoke to our
correspondents after their verification exercise
commended the State government for the exercise
saying that it will bring sanity to the State Civil
Service which has suffered so much due to many
irregularities.
