The Governor of Adamawa State, Ahmadu Fintiri has declared that all workers must present their original certificates before their October salary is paid.
According to reports, No less than 7,000 State government workers may lose their jobs to this.
A statement issued on Thursday in Yola by the chief press secretary, Humwashi Wonisouko, stated that the exercise is not to witch-hunt anyone but to restore sanity in the service.
He said, “Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has issued a directive requiring all workers in government institutions, ministries, boards, and agencies to immediately present their certificates.”
According to the governor, the move aims to restore order and prevent unqualified individuals from occupying positions, thereby denying opportunities to the younger generation.
The governor added, “This exercise is not intended to witch-hunt anyone but rather to ensure sanity in the system.”
He warned that failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of October salaries until the certificates are submitted.
“These issues must be addressed, and the service should be a haven for scholarship and honesty, rather than a haven for misfit,” he added.
