BVN saves Rivers state government N1billion


The Rivers State
Government has announced that it has saved about N1 billion through the Bank Verification Number
(BVN) validation of civil servants ordered by Governor Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike.
Also, the State Government
has announced that it will embark on a comprehensive biometric confirmation of all civil servants in
the state as a further measure of blocking all other existing revenue leakages in the system.

The resolution was reached
at the State Executive Council Meeting held on Wednesday at the
Government House, Port
Harcourt. Addressing journalists after the meeting, Commissioner for
Information, Dr Austin Tam-
George said that the resolution would enhance the financial management of the state.
The State Executive Council noted that the biometric verification will also confirm the actual population of civil servants in the state for effective planning.

The Information
Commissioner said that as a
result of the revenue constraints being experienced by the state the
comprehensive biometric
verification became necessary to boost the finances of the state. Also,
the State Executive Council
resolved to hand over the Dr
Graham Douglas Secondary
in Khana Local Government
Area to the Ken Saro-Wiwa
Polytechnic.
According to the State
Government, the resolution
was reached because of the
need to put the school facilities to use after several months of neglect. The school will now serve as a
campus of the State Polytechnic. Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor,
