#BBB NEWS| Banks, Officials Behind 23,000 Ghost Workers To Be Prosecuted – Finance Minister

Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, on Thursday revealed that the Bank Verification Number (BVN), and Integrated Payroll Personnel Information System had helped the Federal Government discover 23,000 ghost workers in the civil service.

Mrs. Adeosun made the revelation when she appeared before the Senate Committee on Finance to defend her ministry’s budget yesterday.

She lamented that having ghost workers in the civil service had caused grave leakage to Nigeria’s revenue.

Mrs. Adeosun also explained how the use of the BVN assisted the IPPIS to detect the fraud perpetrated through the creation of ghost workers.
