This concern follows the government’s announcement, conveyed in a statement by Magaji Abdullahi, the Public Relations Officer of the Jigawa State Ministry of Finance, specifying the completion date for the verification exercise.

The statement declared, “This is to inform the general public that the round-off of the staff verification exercise has commenced on Monday 13th Nov 2023 to Saturday 18th Nov 2023 by 8:00 am to 4:00 pm daily at the Ministry of Finance conference Hall.

Other staff who are not verified are urged to ensure that they are verified within the stipulated period because there is no extra time, and any staff who is not verified considers himself as a ghost worker.”

In response to the announcement, a classroom teacher named Mallam Auwalu emphasized the need for the state government to extend the verification timeframe.

He pointed out that approximately 70% of classroom teachers have not undergone verification.

Auwalu suggested, “I think Jigawa State schools should be closed for one week to give teachers a chance to travel to Dutse for verification.

This is because more than 70% of Jigawa State Basic and Senior Secondary School Teachers are unverified, and the verification exercise will end on 28th November 2023.”

Another civil servant, Ahmad Ilallah, raised concerns about irregularities in the verification exercise, indicating that the process has not been executed as planned.

Ilallah mentioned the failure of the contracted company to reach civil servants at their workplaces, leading to a lack of verification for many individuals.

Additionally, it was reported that a verification official was arrested by the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) over alleged extortion from civil servants seeking verification.
