Equity, Fairness Watchword In Workers Verification — Bauchi Commissioner

The Bauchi State Government will ensure equity, fairness in ongoing workers’ verification, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Malam Nuhu Zaki has said.

Zaki said that the exercise, being conducted across the 20 Local Government Areas, was not meant to witch-hunt any employee, but as an effort to further sanitize the system. He warned all staff members in the state against sharp practices.

"The state government will continue to instill discipline, transparency, and accountability in the conduct of local government administration.
