No BVN, no Salary – Umahi tells Workers
Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has stated clearly the importance of the Bank verification number for every Ebonyi State civil servant.
Umahi made this known while addressing the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, delegation, who paid him a courtesy visit at the Exco Chambers, Government House, Abakaliki.
According to him: “Anybody that doesn’t have BVN should not expect salary, no BVN no salary whether it is political or not. The Deputy Governor has BVN and I have BVN. So, any political appointee that doesn’t have BVN, no salary. Any Civil Servant that doesn’t have BVN or have incomplete BVN or intentionally gave out wrong BVN, I have noted that and such a person will not take salary until they have BVN.
“Commissioner for Local Government, you have to implement that immediately. No salary for the months of November, December until everybody has got a BVN, this is very important. So, some of you that have not opened account for the first time in your life, you now open account. They said Ebonyi is the least in bank account opening, it shouldn’t be”, he said.
