Information reaching us at Greenbarge Reporters showed that the minister is still in shock that many names that were not in the services of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) were smuggled into the January salary voucher, which he promptly detected and returned to sender.
It was gathered that when the over bloated voucher was presented to the minister for his signature, he queried the astronomical increase in the salary bill, unusually from the previous ones.
The minister was said to have asked the account department to re-do the voucher, as a result of which the administrative department had embarked on screening of individual worker’s file, in addition to the filling of the annual emolument form.
It was gathered that workers’ salaries were last paid before December 20 last year, in the spirit of Christmas and New Year festivities, even as the minister had long promised to be paying salaries before or on 25th of every month.
Workers in many departments of the FCTA are now grumbling and complaining bitterly that over 40 days since they received salaries, they are yet to be paid, irrespective of what happened.
“The authorities do not even find it expedient to communicate the workers on the unusual delay that has left many families in hunger and frustration,” a staff in the agric department complained. [myad]
