Kaduna
State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has announced the commencement of
biometric verification of all civil servants in the state’s workforce
from Wednesday.
The exercise was signed and announced on Sunday by the Head of Service to Kaduna State Governor, Mrs Alisabatu Dada-Onazi.
Mrs
Dada-Onazi said that the verification exercise was designed to provide
the State Government with accurate and reliable record of its personnel
and clean-up its payroll.
According to the statement issued to
all Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government, data collected
from the exercise would enable the government to determine whether the
billions of Naira spent monthly on staff salaries were paid to
identifiable and verifiable civil servants or not.
It further
explained that the biometric registration exercise would be conducted
simultaneously across the three senatorial zones which are Kaduna,
Kafanchan and Zaria.
The civil servants, in the statement, were
advised to bring their letter of appointment, letter of last promotion
and means of identification which could be their National Identity Card,
Driver’s License, Permanent Voter Card or International Passport.
The
Head of Service also directed the workers to physically appear before
the verification team for screening and collection of their salary
cheques for the month of June 2015.
The biometric verification exercise would be completed on Wednesday July 8.
The
Kaduna State Government had in the previous week, signed a Memorandum
of Understanding with United Bank for Africa and Zenith Bank, to partner
in updating the Civil Service Payroll.
