The Abia state government has initiated a staff verification exercise in a bid to uncover and eliminate ghost workers from the payroll. This move comes as part of efforts to improve the efficiency and transparency of the state’s workforce management.

The verification exercise is a proactive measure taken by the Abia state government to tackle the issue of ghost workers and enhance accountability in the public sector. It demonstrates the government’s commitment to prudent financial management and the efficient allocation of resources.
By conducting this staff verification exercise, the Abia state government aims to create a more streamlined and productive workforce, ultimately leading to improved service delivery for the people of the state.
