Others who addressed newsmen including the State Head of Civil Service, Yahuza Adamu, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Nuhu Zaki as well as representative of organised labour, Dauda Shuaibu applauladed the government for developing a statewide credible data that will pave way to exposing those compromising nominal and pay roll system in the state.
With this development and the exiting of DYNATECH Solutions Limited that was the consultant managing the state salaries and pensions, many civil servants are hoping that the lingering issues surrounding payments will be a thing of the past.
