Abdusalam said the governor ordered his office to remove the affected workers from the state’s payroll.

He further stated his office would carry out an investigation to find out the genuineness of their engagement and procedures so as to remove those illegally recruited.

Concerning local government workers in the state, Abdusalam disclosed that those who were converted to state workers by the former administration would continue receiving their salaries.

However, he said it would be based on local government levels, asking them to continue working in their new state’s MDAs until the investigation is concluded.
