We saved close to N3 billion from ghost workers in Benue – Gov Alia
The governor of Benue State, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has revealed that since assuming office in May 2023, his government has saved about N3 billion from ghost workers.
Speaking with Vanguard, the governor said before now, Benue had more ghost workers but he was able to end it few months into this administration.
He said, “Our primary schools are down, and as I speak, we have done so much at getting rid of ghost schools. Benue had more ghost schools than the existing functional schools.
“Also, Benue had more ghost workers. For instance, we had a ghost school that had 95 teachers, and the least teacher on the staff was Grade Level 10, which has been there for a very long time.
“Just imagine how much the state lost educationally. What we did in the first month was to save N1 billion, and in the second month of our coming on board, we saved close to N3 billion from ghost workers.”
