Assistant Dean, Student Affairs,
University of Benin, UNIBEN, Mr. Faith
Osadolor, has condemned those he
accused of being bent on spreading
falsehood against the Vice Chancellor of
the university, Prof. O. G Oshodin.
Osadolor, reacting to allegations of
ghost workers on the payroll of the
university, said nothing of such existed
in the institution.
He said: "As Dean of Student Affairs and
Chairman, UNIBEN Security Committee, I
am privy to the fact that there are no
ghost workers within the system, neither
are there cases of persons, who are not
staff of the university, receiving salaries.
"We are aware of a petition by one
Samuel Kehinde, who is peddling
falsehood against the VC. I can tell you,
he is no longer in the services of the
University of Benin.
"Under the Vice Chancellor, the
institution has declared zero tolerance to
corruption with strict enforcement and I
wonder where the petitioner is getting
his claims."
Osadolor said the petitioner was
peddling rumours of bitterness.
The formal Director, Central Records
Process Unit of the University of Benin,
Mr Kehinde, had raised concern that
there were some ghost workers on the
pay-roll of the institution.
He claimed, in a petition to the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC,
that the ghost workers allegedly cost the
university authorities about N50 million
monthly between January 2012 through
2013.
Kehinde, in a petition addressed to the
Chairman of EFCC, alleged that as
former chairman of the bursary
computerization committee and sub-
head of the staff biometric exercise of
the university in 2012, a total of 4,817
staff biometric records were duly
captured and documented and only 74
staff records were compiled as those
that were unavoidably absent during the
biometric exercise.
He said: "I wish to draw your attention to
the systemic and permanent drain of the
University of Benin funds by the monthly
payment of salaries to ghost workers in
the persons of staff members on leave of
absence (who were not entitled to
salaries of any kind) retired and dead
persons.
"From the summary of the monthly
salaries paid, those found on the payroll
that did not take part in the biometric
exercise, led to the discovery of fraud in
which there were duplications in the
payment of salaries."
