The Bayelsa State Government has said there are about 27,000 illegal
and ghost workers on the payrolls of the state local government areas.
Commissioner for Information and Orientation Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said this on Thursday in Sagbama, Sagbama Local Government Area, at the ongoing town hall meeting on reforms.
According to him, the development had brought the state’s workforce from 56,000 to 27,000 workers.
“The people against these reforms are those who are taking advantage of our collective wealth and appropriating it into their own personal pockets and putting all of us including the state in this terrible mess. When you hear them criticize the reforms, take note of them, it is very possible they are those shortchanging the state”
