No BVN, No Salary - Governor Nyesom Wike Fires Warning to Civil Servants

 

While addressing Civil Servants at the State Secretariat Complex in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, said that Civil Servants who do not have bank verification numbers will not be paid their salaries.

 

The Governor who noted that the wage bill of the State is enormous, promised to check the excesses.

 

He said, "I will do everything possible to block every loophole for the development of the State as the amount of money we pay for salaries is so much. Therefore, I have directed the Commissioner of Finance to ensure that anyone without a Bank Verification Number (BVN) is not be paid salary so as to check excess payments."
