Ok. This is a good first step. Those who constantly shout “Get government out of the way and let the private sector do everything” convinced government to give IPPIS payroll management to the private sector.
But when I was in government, we realised that the private-sector companies managing it were themselves creating ghost workers on IPPIS. We also realised that, ghost workers aside, some public servants who do exist were collecting up to 20 salaries each! With BVN it is possible to find out who is actually collecting the salaries if the banks are willing to help.
Biometric verification is an important first step to reducing the cost of governance but it is only a first (and easy) step. A comprehensive audit of all agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies is also important. That is one of the things that the Oronsaye Report did. Since that 2012 report, the number of these bodies that draw on the federal budget has trebled.
Do the biometric audit of staff, then the audit of agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies, and check with PENCOM how many people the Federal Government is paying contributory pensions for.
After doing that, decide which agencies you want to merge or scrap, and which ones should be giving us revenue instead of us funding them from the budget.
The last step should be people that we want to ask to go. Again, that will be graduated, starting from offering redundancies and giving people an incentive to go. At all times, have the trade unions alongside, so that they can see that reduced personnel costs will make it easier to pay those that remain better. It can be done.
