60 Dead Workers Received Salaries In Imo State For Many Years-Reports

Governor Hope Uzodimma has revealed how not less than sixty dead civil servants who worked in the Imo State Secondary Education Management Board (IMSUBEB), received salaries for several years.

Naija news learnt that the revelation was made at the weekend when the committee set up by the Agency of Imo State Government to look into its activities submitted its report to Governor Hope Uzodinma.

Receiving the report, Governor Uzodimma lauded the agency for the courage to carry out the audit and encouraged other ministries and agencies of government to do likewise for the purpose of sanitizing the payroll system of the state.

He said his administration is committed to the payment of salary and emoluments of civil servants and pensioners and urged those yet to receive their pay to approach the relevant offices with the appropriate data so they can be pay-rolled in line with the automation process.
