Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-rufai has revealed that the on-going payroll verification exercise is already helping the state to save N500m monthly.
The governor stated that steady progress has been made since the verification process for workers and pensioners commenced in June 2015.
He added that “the results so far show that the payroll for wages and pensions has declined from the N2.7bn it cost to pay workers in May 2015.”
“To build on this success and ensure the integrity of the payroll, the government is pressing ahead with the concluding phase of the verification exercise.
“This is expected to end in April 2016. Workers who have patiently partaken in the exercise since June 2015 should demonstrate the same spirit now that verification is close to the finishing line.
“As an employer, the government regrets that some workers have encountered hitches during the verification process. The process we have launched to end in April will give a conclusive picture of public service data and hasten redress for the affected workers.Employees should update their personnel records fully.’’
