The state Head of Service (HOS), Mr. Soji Eniade made these disclosures during the press briefing about the decisions of the Executive Council meeting held on Monday at the governor’s office Ibadan.

Accompanied by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun as well as the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr. Bashir Olanrewaju, Eniade gave a situation report on the on-going reform in the state civil and public service, revealing that about 684 workers were not found at their duty posts during the last Physical Verification Exercise (PVE) carried out in the state recently.

The HOS explained that the state government was restructuring the state civil and public service by ascertaining the quality and quantity of the workforce, stressing that the Bank Verification Number (BVN) used to determine the accurate size of the workforce and pensioners exposed that there were 1,432 fictitious state pensioners’ names, 84 fictitious local government pensioners and 505 fictitious workers in the state civil and public service, amounting to 2021.
