Finance minister says 23,000 ghost workers were discovered in civil service
The minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun revealed that 23,000 ghost workers were discovered in the federal civil service.
Daily Post reports that Adeosun said the ghost workers will be handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
She made this revelation while addressing, the Senate committee on Finance, during her budget defence session.
Adeosun also said banks that worked with the civil servants to defraud the government will also be prosecuted.
She said “We will not only sack them, we will ensure the recovery of the money they have been collecting over the years from the Federal government.”
The finance minister also said Nigeria's decision to collect government payments in one bank account will help limit state borrowing, reduce payment delays and curb corruption.
During the visit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) boss, Christine Lagarde Adeosun also said Nigeria plans up to $5 bln borrowing from sources including Eurobonds.
The minister has also hinted that the government was working on the introduction of performance-related pay for the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), to motivate improved revenue collection and reduce corruption.

British Billionaire Richard Branson Condemns Indonesia for Executing Nigerians, Others
British Billionaire Richard Branson Condemns Indonesia for Executing Nigerians, Others
British billionaire Richard Branson has taken to his blog to denounce the execution of the Bali Nine by firing squad.
According to him, the action is “needless” and “brutal”. He also warned the Indonesian government that the decision will severely “hamper the country’s chances to secure clemency for Indonesians facing the death penalty abroad”.
“Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso was granted a last-minute reprieve. But Rodrigo Gularte, Martin Anderson (aka Belo), Raheem Agbaje Salami, Sylvester Obiekwe Nwolise, Okwudili Oyatanze, Zainal Abidin bin Mgs Mahmud Badarudin, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran lost their lives brutally and needlessly.
“Brutally, because the death penalty is always cruel, barbaric and inhumane. It has no place in a civilised society.
“Needlessly, because these executions will not do anything to deter drug trafficking in Indonesia or reduce supply and demand. There is plenty of evidence that prohibition and strict law enforcement have little to no effect on the drug trade. If Indonesia wants to tackle its drug problems effectively, it needs to return to evidence-based policies that place public health over criminal law enforcement.”
He went on to discuss the tales of prisoners’ rehabilitation, particularly of Andrew and Myuran, who he heralded as “shining examples of people working through their mistakes and becoming productive members of society”.
Branson concluded that the death of the eight prisoners in Bali will have a “significant negative impact on Indonesia’s standing in the world”.
“I hope some good will come out of these tragic events, as more and more people realise inhumane death penalty laws must end globally, now,” he said. “As people unite behind the #IStandForMercy hashtag, public disgust for the death penalty grows and hope increases that an end to the death penalty is in sight.”
“To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: ‘The only difference between saints and sinners is that every saint has a past while every sinner (should have) a future.’
“Everyone deserves a second chance. Let’s do away with the death penalty once and for all.”
