The Zamfara State Government has uncovered 20 medical doctors listed as ghost workers during an ongoing verification exercise aimed at implementing the new minimum wage of N70,000 for civil servants
Speaking at a press conference in Gusau on Wednesday, the State Head of Service and Chairman of the Workers Verification Committee, Ahmed Liman, stated that the committee discovered the ghost doctors during verification checks across various sectors.
Liman announced that the full implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage would commence once the verification exercise concludes at the end of November.
In addition to the 20 ghost doctors, Liman indicated that more ghost workers from other ministries had been identified, with a full report to be released after the exercise.
He noted that Zamfara currently has a workforce of 34,000, excluding local government employees. The committee aims to ensure that an accurate and genuine workforce count is presented to the governor for wage implementation.
“I assure that, upon receiving the committee’s report, the government will approve the full implementation of the new minimum wage,” Liman said.
