The Executive Secretary of the Kogi State Universal Basic Education Board, Mrs Justina Dolapo Abanida, has said government is struggling to tackle the menace of phony teachers and schools through employee verification exercise.
She said in an interview with Daily Trust for teachers to get regular salaries, fake schools and teachers must be identified and wiped out.
“We have complex ghost worker system in the primary schools especially in the remote areas where non existing primary schools are collecting salaries, so it is a complex one that has gone so deeply into the financial stability of the state,” she said.
She warned heads of public schools in the state against sales of instructional materials to pupils and JSS students saying all instructional materials at the basic education level were being provided free of charge by the government and must be given to pupils at no cost.
Mrs. Abanida said the board was doing everything possible to boost school enrolment.
