“That’s was why two months ago, the state government decided to constitute a committee headed by the state Accountant General, auditor general, permanent secretary, three chairmen and director in the ministry, to look into the problem”
“The committee after investigation discovered that after payment of salaries and other entitlements, the sum of over 600 million naira was remaining; so they directed all councils to go back and pay salaries with 2012 payment vouchers, but the DFS refused”
“From the ministry they were directed to use 2012 payment vouchers to pay salaries and if there is any genuine complains, they should be forwarded to the committee for ratification, but they refused; they held payment of salaries to ransom, that is why government directed that they be suspended” he said
