Plateau govt sacks 532 workers for alleged falsification of records
The Plateau State government has dismissed 532 workers for alleged falsification of documents.
The state governor, Simon Lalong, revealed this at a retreat for the state permanent secretaries at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru.
He said the exercise would continue as those found culpable for unethical conduct would face disciplinary proceedings.
According to him, “About 532 names have been removed from the government payroll after an investigation using the Bank Verification Number (BVN) system, revealed inconsistencies in their records.
“Some had falsified their ages or tampered with their records. Others could not appear to answer queries on such records.
“We shall ensure that all of them are properly investigated and made to face appropriate sanctions. This exercise will be a continuous one.”
