Benue Govt Commences Table Payment To Eliminate Ghost Workers In Benue

-


Benue State Government has commenced screening of 44,000 civil servants and local government employees for the modified table payment.


 The state government claimed that the total wage bill of the state had risen to about N7.8 billion in recent times.

 Deputy Governor of the state and Chairman, State Emergency Committee on Salary Issues, Engr. Benson Abounu, while flagging-off the screening exercise at the Banquet Hall of the Government House, on Thursday, stated that the aim of the screening was to know the total workforce and exact wage bill of the state.

 Abounu disclosed that during a mock screening that was conducted a few days back, it was discovered that three out of the 10 civil servants that were screened who should have retired were still in the civil service and withdrawing their salaries.
“We hope to achieve the total workforce and exact wage bill of the state. When we did a mock test two days back, we discovered that of the 10 civil servants that were screened, three should have retired. It was also discovered that Health Administrative workers who do not do any night work are on shift allowance.”
The Deputy Governor, however, warned anyone whose employment are questionable against appearing for screening, stressing that fake officers would be handed over to the police for prosecution.

 “It is an exercise that involves personal appearance. There is no room for manipulation. We are dealing with 19,000 civil servants and 25,000 local government employees. Any fake officer who presents his or herself for screening would be handed over to the police,” he said.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
