He disclosed this in an interview with newsmen shortly after  the ministry’s 2024 budget defence in Minna.

Maikano said the discovery was as a result of technology deployed by the state government to check the state civil service.

“Gov. Umaru Bago’s administration is determined to ensure that all loopholes and leakages are blocked.

“By doing that, we are deploying technology to check these processes we started. We have knocked off about 100 to 200 names from the payroll that never existed.

“If they truly exist, we will have been having a lot of complaints  that they are staff of this place and have not been paid salaries,” he said.

He said the state employees were 25,000 and the state government was spending N2.5 billion on the payment of salaries monthly.

He added that the 2024 budget of N613 billion would be financed from loans, federal allocation, revenue generation and other sources. (NAN)
