Through a thorough biometric verification exercise, the Rivers State Local Government Service Commission has made more efforts to rid the state’s local government system of ghost employees.
Dr. Israel Amadi, the commission’s chairman, made this known to journalists in Port Harcourt during an interview. He cited the ongoing verification as a way to ensure that only legitimate and legitimate employees are employed on government payroll.
Amadi emphasized that the exercise is a part of the Commission’s wider plan to improve service delivery, promote accountability, and sanitize the system.
He assured that all necessary security measures have been in place to ensure a smooth and transparent procedure.

Amadi thanked Governor Siminalayi Fubara for his support and confidence, and he claimed the initiative would help ensure that local government workers’ moral character and efficiency were used when implementing grassroots development.
He further explained that teams are deployed to verify employees’ biometric data and cross-check their records against existing records while the verification process is being carried out simultaneously across all 23 local government areas.
He added that the exercise is intended to aid in the identification of instances of multiple employment and salary duplication, which have been a persistent issue for the local government system.
Amadi urged all local government employees to work closely with the verification officers by ensuring them that the procedure is not harsh but aims to improve efficiency and transparency.
