Kwara govt strikes ghost workers schools

I think there may be some confusion here. Kwara State Government did not strike ghost workers in schools. Instead, the government has been working to identify and eliminate ghost workers from its payroll, which is a common practice in many governments to prevent financial losses.

In 2020, the Kwara State Government launched a biometric verification exercise to identify and remove ghost workers from its payroll. The exercise was aimed at ensuring that only genuine workers receive their salaries and benefits.

The government also set up a committee to investigate and identify ghost workers in the state's payroll. The committee was tasked with verifying the identities of workers and ensuring that only those who are genuinely employed by the government receive their salaries.

It's worth noting that the term "ghost workers" refers to individuals who are listed as employees of a government or organization but do not actually work for them. These individuals may be fictitious or may be individuals who are not actually employed by the government but are receiving salaries and benefits.

In summary, the Kwara State Government has been working to eliminate ghost workers from its payroll, not striking them in schools.
