IN a frantic bid to eliminate waste in government
expenditure, Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano said his
administration has uncovered 850 ghost workers through which government
funds were being filtered away.
Disclosing this at an interactive session with media
practitioners in the state, Obiano said that the discovery was the
result of part of the internal mechanism his administra- tion had
adopted to cope with the harsh economic condi- tion in the country
occasioned by crash in oil prices.
Also the governor has said that his government would not go into
doing any federal roads as the state was yet to be paid a huge sum of
N34 billion owed it by the Federal government
on federal roads done by the state.
While regretting that the reconstruction of the Enugu- Onitsha
expressway, which has turned a nightmare to the people, was not captured
in the 2016 Federal Government budget, Governor Obiano implored
President Muhammad Government to reconsider work on the road to reduce
the suffering of the people.
