Katsina gov orders LG payroll audit.
Governor Dikko Radda, Katsina State Governor.
The Katsina State Government is set to organise a ‘manpower audit’ across the state’s 34 local government areas.
Governor Dikko Radda disclosed this on Thursday during a special meeting with the chairmen, heads of personnel and treasurers of the 34 councils.
The governor said the screening would be carried out “via a face-to-face interview” with the workers.
According to him, the exercise “is aimed at identifying genuine staff members across the LGs.”
The governor said, “We have received several complaints on the payrolls of our local governments, which are very disturbing. Hence, we want to sanitise the local government system in our dear state. A situation where some fraudulent persons collect more than a salary is worrisome. But we are determined to stop such evil practices.”
Meanwhile, Radda also announced that the newly recruited cadets of the Katsina Security Watch would soon complete their training and be deployed to assist security agencies in the state.
He spoke during a ‘Maulud gathering’ at Unguwar Liman in the Katsina metropolis, organised by Madarasatu Darul Imam.
The governor said the recruitment of the Security Watch Corp members was in fulfilment of his campaign promise to tackle insecurity in the state.
