No ghost workers in Ondo – Labour

Ondo State chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress  and the Trade Union Congress Union Congress declared on Wednesday that there were no ghost workers in the state civil service contrary to the claims by the state government.
The government had claimed last week that it had been saving N500m monthly after it had discovered that 10,000 ghost workers were being paid salaries every month across the 18 local government councils of the state.
But the workers, at a joint news briefing by the state chairman of NLC, Mrs. Bosede Daramola and the chairman of TUC, Mr. Soladoye Ekundayo, in Akure, described the state’s claim as highly unfortunate.
The civil servants also said contrary to the claim of the state government, that local government workers had been paid their June and July salaries, the workers had yet to be paid.
For instance, Daramola said 3,000 of the 6,000 workers which were said to have been indicted by the Deji Falae-committee, had been cleared.
