 Governor Bello Matawale says the Zamfara state government has identified no fewer than 199 ghost doctors who were in the state payroll that are yet to be found. Matawale made this known while speaking to journalists in Maradon Town, the headquarters of Maradon local government area of the state. According to the governor, though the state government was paying salaries to 280 doctors every month, it discovered only 81 doctors are active in the entire state. He further disclosed that he already met with the state chapter of the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC on how to trace those 100 and 99 ghost doctors who spent long periods of time collecting salaries illegally with a view to block those behind the manipulation.
