Ghost workers of the Taraba state civil service on Monday staged a protest over the unpaid 7 months’ salaries.
The alleged ghost workers claimed that they had done all the necessary procedure lay down by the state government, but were still not considered since seven months ago.
Mr Abdurahul Sani, the chairman of the alleged ghost workers forum, expressed during the protest that over 4000 workers were being unlawfully denied their entitlement under the claims of ghost workers by the Taraba state government.
“Over 5, 000 of us were declared ghost workers, after which 500 were asked to go for biometric. The 500 workers were recalled and started receiving their salaries,” he explained.
The alleged ghost workers’ chairman said the remaining 4,000 workers were later called for verification, but since then, have not been considered for payment.
He said, “Out of over 4, 900 workers that were declared as ghost, 500 were called for biometric and have started receiving their salaries.
“The remaining of us were later called for the same verification, but since then, we have not received anything.
“The governor has been promising us for the past 7 months. We have taken our plea to his mother and pastor, who promised to work things out for us, but up to this moment, we have not started receiving salaries.
“Our members are already dying. The governor should be as human as a pastor that he is.”
Responding, the chief of staff to Governor Agbu Kefas, Dr Jeji Williams, told the alleged ghost workers that the government was still looking into the matter, but the reality was still far.
“I want to assure you that the government is still looking into your matter, but the reality is far,” Williams said.
The governor’s chief of staff said the government was still collecting data and financial statistics to tackle the matter.
“Although the reality is far, I want to assure you that the government is still taking data and financial statistics to tackle your matter. I appeal for more patience to enable the government complete the process,” he added.
The alleged ghost workers have vowed to remain at the government house gate until their situation is addressed.
