Zamfara: Coalition reacts as Gov Dauda removes 2,363 ghost workers from payroll

Published on April 01, 2025 at 10:03 AM

The Coalition of Rescue Support Groups in Zamfara has lauded Governor Dauda Lawal for fishing out and removing from the state's payroll 2,363 ghost workers who were illegally receiving a total of N193,642,097.19 monthly.

The Coalition noted that this has made the Governor's swift implementation of the N70,000.00 new national minimum wage to civil servants easier.

In a statement signed by Alhaji Rufai Ahmed Gusau, Zamfara State Coordinator, the Coalition noted that the new minimum wage will bring greater financial stability, improved service delivery, and a better standard of living for all government employees.

“It’s a departure from the vicious cycle of salary bondage imposed on workers by previous administrations in the state,” the statement said.

“Only hardworking and genuine employees are recognized and rewarded. Today, Zamfara State has 28,273 workers verified and cleared, while 2,363 ghost workers who were illegally receiving a total of N193,642,097.19 monthly have been removed from the payroll.

“This has saved the state the sum of N200 million that will now be deployed to make Zamfara State great and prosperous again.”

“And salvaged Zamfara from political hirelings and reactionary forces that have impeded its development.”

“With improved security and economic activities, Zamfara people now enjoy the dividends of democracy and good governance. This is what democracy is all about.”

“We further urge all workers, union leaders, opposition parties, and the good people of Zamfara to stand with the government in this unprecedented journey of reform, progress, development, and advancement.”
