Minister of Information and Supervising Minister of Defence, Labaran
Maku, has disclosed that the President Goodluck Jonathan led administration has
recovered the sum of N118.9 billion from ghost workers since the beginning of
the year.
The minister made the disclosure during a World Press conference held in
Abuja, where he stated that about 46,821 ghost workers have so far been
identified from 215 Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, with the
application of the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System, IPPIS.
Maku also disclosed that work is still on-going to bring in other 321
MDAs that are not yet on IPPIS.
According to him, purpose of this reform is to increase efficiency and
public financing, personnel cost, planning and budgeting as personnel cost will
be based on actual verified numbers and not estimates.
Also, government intends to eliminate ghost workers from its payroll and
channel the money into capital projects.
He alleged that the issue of security is being politcised by politicians
rather than supporting Federal Government in the on-going effort to combat
insurgency in the north-east.
