Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nasarawa state Governor, Abdullahi Sule has inaugurated a five-member committee to address the issue of ghost workers in local government areas (LGAs) across the state.<\/p>\n

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Affairs, Comrade Peter Ahemba, disclosed this in Lafia.<\/p>\n

He stated that the decision was a resolution of the State Economic Council, chaired by Deputy Governor Emmanuel Akabe, during its recent meeting in the state capital.<\/p>\n

Ahemba explained that the committee\u2019s mandate includes conducting a thorough screening to ascertain the actual workforce of the LGAs.<\/p>\n

The exercise, he said, aims to curb financial leakages and enable the councils to implement the N70,000 minimum wage for staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe screening became necessary due to complaints about an inflated workforce, especially in development areas. However, this initiative is not intended to undermine the authority of local government leaders or interfere with their autonomy,\u201d Ahemba said.<\/p>\n

He added that the governor has also urged LGA chairmen to align with federal and state food security initiatives by acquiring large parcels of land for agricultural purposes.<\/p>\n

To support this drive, Vice President Kashim Shetima recently presented two tractors to each of the 13 LGA chairmen during his visit to Nasarawa State.<\/p>\n

In another directive, Governor Sule ordered the centralization of revenue generation between the state and LGAs to ensure accountability and eliminate leakages in the collection process.<\/p>\n

The measures, Ahemba noted, are part of the administration\u2019s efforts to promote financial discipline, food security, and sustainable development in the state<\/p>\n
