The Governor of Borno State, Babagana Zulum, has said that
the ongoing employee verification exercise has uncovered names of babies in the
payroll of the Shani Local Government Area of the state.
Zulum, during the Menwara Cultural Festival in Shani Town on
Saturday, said that the monthly salaries and allowances paid to fake employees
including the babies were ‘siphoned’ by corrupt officials, Daily Trust reports.
The governor said, “Let me inform you that at the end of the
verification exercise, names of babies were found in the payrolls while N19
million was paid to fake employees in Shani Local Government Area monthly.
“It was discovered that one family alone has 300 fake
employees and if this trend continues, I am afraid, Shani LGA may not be able
to pay the monthly salaries of its employees, in the future.”
