 Anambra Government Reaffirms Mega City Drive, Demolishes Scores of Illegal Structures By Ruth Orji  The Anambra State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to the ongoing regeneration drive and restoration of sanity across the state through enforcement exercises and demolition of illegal structures statewide. The exercise was led by the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Barrister Chijioke Ojukwu, on July 8, in line with the Physical Planning Law of Anambra State. Stating that it is no longer business as usual, the commissioner urged residents to take every notice received from the ministry seriously and comply promptly with planning regulations henceforth.

 Zamfara Government Says It’s Unclear How Many Civil Servants Are in the State Amid Ghost Worker Crisis


The Zamfara State government has expressed concern over the growing issue of ghost workers within the state’s civil service, describing the situation as both troubling and perplexing. 


During a press briefing in Gusau, the State Head of Service (HoS), Barrister Ahmad Liman, revealed that the exact number of civil servants in the state remains unknown due to the prevalence of ghost workers.


Liman noted that the problem is particularly rampant in the health and education sectors, with a verification exercise currently underway. He cited an example where, in one hospital, 22 employees were listed as receiving salaries, but the verification revealed that only two were legitimate workers.


The ongoing verification process is expected to conclude by the end of November 2024, after which a committee will be set up to review salaries.


As the Chairman of the Steering Committee overseeing the verification, Liman emphasized that the current administration inherited unresolved issues from the previous government. One such issue was the flawed implementation of the 2019 minimum wage of N30,000.


Liman stated that once the verification and salary committees submit their findings, the state government will move to implement the new minimum wage of N70,000. However, he stressed that this cannot happen until the exact number of civil servants in the state is determined.
