Joke of the Day: Plateau discovers fake commisisoner on its payroll

The Plateau state Commissioner for Information, Mr Abraham Yiljap, said today in an interview with newsmen that a fake commissioner had been earning the salary and allowances attached to the office.

His exact words:  

There is a fake commissioner on the payroll of Plateau state government. I mean somebody appointed himself as commissioner and has been receiving salaries and other perks of office as one. We have a lot of bad things. Some people are on grade level 8 but receive salaries meant for level 16 officers. Others have primary school certificates and are retiring on grade level 14.

In another instance, some of the workers connived and stole N66 million scholarship funds.

There are many other people, who are taking money that they should not be taking. Some are no longer in the service but they are maintained in service. People are maintaining fictitious names and drawing salaries.”

 And who's fault is that?
