169 Ghost Doctors in Zamfara State – Matawalle

Governor of Zamfar State, Bello Mohammed Matawalle has lamented that there are about 169 ghost doctors receiving monthly salaries and allowances in the state.

The Governor disclosed this to newsmen in his country home in Maradun town of Maradun Local Government Area of the State. He stated that this has led to the delay in the payment of the health workers’ salaries and allowances.

According to him, his government had been having series of meetings with the Labour leaders in the State with regard to flushing out ghost doctors and nurses in the health sector.

He assured that his administration had no plan to retrench any genuine civil servant in the State following the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage.

According to him, he expects the civil servants in the State to always justify their salaries and allowances.

“I was once a civil servant and I know the pains if my salary and allowances were not paid”, he added.

He further stated that huge amount of resources were being paid in the name of salaries and allowances to the civil servants out of the little monthly allocation to the State from the federation account.
