Ghosts Schools Discovered In Niger State, N76m Lost Every Month To That

No fewer than 22 ghost primary schools and 24 head teachers have been discovered in the Chanchaga Local Government Area of Niger State. Investigations showed that between the ghost schools and head teachers, a whopping N76m was being lost monthly.

The discovery of the ‘ghosts’ followed a staff audit ordered by the Chairman of the local government, Alhaji Inuwa Adamu Fuka.

It was discovered that in addition to the ‘ghost’ schools and head teachers, some senior staff of the local government, who either had been transferred to the state’s Ministry for Local Government or were retired, still drew their salaries, at least, up to the end of April this year.

Some of the ‘ghosts’ schools were located in Minna, the capital of the state. Investigation revealed the names of the schools as Kurmin Sarki Primary School (located in the low cost area of the  state capital), Angwan Gaya Model Primary School, Awal Ibrahim Primary School, Bagudu Waziri Primary School, as well as Rabah Kede Primary School.

Part of the shocking discovery, according to the investigation, is a level 5 staff of the local government that was drawing the salary of a level 15 officer. Also, an employee who withdrew his appointment to join the Federal Government parastatal still had his name on the pay roll and was collecting his salary monthly until April.

According to the findings, the Chairman of the local government, Alhaji Adamu Fuka, had directed that all the ‘ghost’ schools and head teachers’ salaries should be stopped, until the audit team had completed its assignment and submitted a report to the council.

In addition, it was gathered that Fuka had asked that those involved in the scam should be identified and their names submitted to his office.
