 240 Kano Workers Found Receiving Double Salaries, 217 Share Same BVN — Government


The Kano State Government has uncovered 240 civil servants receiving double salaries and 217 individuals operating under the same Bank Verification Number (BVN), following a biometric verification exercise.


Dr. Sulaiman Wali Sani, Special Adviser to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf on Civil Service Matters and Chairman of the State Coordinating Committee, announced the findings at a press briefing on Sunday. He explained that the irregularities were exposed through the work of two committees overseeing state and local government payrolls.


Sani described the discovery as part of ongoing efforts to reform the state’s civil service and fulfill Governor Yusuf’s campaign promises. He added that 1,335 workers also failed to present themselves for verification, raising further suspicions of ghost workers.


Similarly, Alhaji Umar Idi, Chairman of the Local Government Standing Committee, said a recent audit identified 247 suspicious names on the local government and primary healthcare payrolls, including retirees, deceased persons, and unauthorised staff extensions. Only eight individuals appeared to verify their employment, while the remaining names were slated for removal, saving the government about ₦27.8 million monthly.
