The current identifica
\ntion and biometric exercise in Rivers State, has been adjudged to be another positive step by the Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike government.
\nSome civil servants who spoke with The Tide on Wednesday in Port Harcourt, said the exercise will sanitise the civil service.
\nThey said that the governor\u2019s idea over the development was second to none, judging from the few results that it has so far recorded.
\nThey maintained that the data capturing exercise was timely, adding that it was a\u00a0 better way to fight corruption.
\nThe Tide gathered that those whose presence was questionable in the service are already jittery as the panel is strict in its judgement.
\nA civil servant who gave his name as Mr Monday Igwe, said the exercise\u00a0 would have been conducted in different zones by different groups in order to save time.
\nHe noted that the location of the biometric capturing was not favourable to all, as most civil servants reside in the rural areas.
\nIgwe who praised the governor\u2019s idea, said the exercise should be done annually to among other things, erase the issue of ghost workers in the system.
\nOthers who failed to mention their names, accused some top civil servants in the state of being the brains behind the ghost worker syndrome.
\nAccording to them, no junior worker can influence any promotion exercise or increase staff strength.
\nThey also appealed with the governor on the need to release the salaries of those who have concluded the exercise so as to enable them cope with the harsh economic situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
