Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has said the ongoing verification exercise on the non-possession of Bank Verification Number (BVN) by some civil servants and pensioners was not against anybody.
The governor also explained that workers without Bank Verification Number are 19, 000 as against the 41,000 as earlier announced.
Mohammed, who spoke while addressing journalists in Bauchi on the exercise yesterday said it has become imperative for the government to conduct such exercise in order to sanitise the State Civil Service.
According to him, the Committee constituted to investigate the non-possession of the Bank Verification Number had discovered that the total number of workers and pensioners in the state civil service without BVN are 19,000 as against the 41,000 earlier announced.
He expressed gratitude to the people of the state for understanding the intention of his administration on the verification exercise.
Mohammed assured citizens of the state of providing good governance and pledged to give level playing ground without molestation to all the stakeholders of the state.
On his recent official visit to the United States of America, the governor said the second stage of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the state government and the Donor Agencies is to ensure the provision of functional Primary Healthcare Center in each ward across the state.
He recalled that, recently UNICEF has renovated 115 Primary Healthcare Centers while the state government had renovated additional 55 to ensure effective healthcare delivery.
Governor Mohammed said while at the United States, he had discussed on ways of getting intervention for the state in the area of human capital development in the State Primary Healthcare and immunization.
