Governor Yahaya Bello inaugurated the committee in Kogi on Monday 23 January 2017

The Kogi State Staff Verification and Complaints Review Committee submitted its final Report which classified 43,522 workers as ‘Cleared’, 32,753 as ‘Uncleared’ and 8,879 as confirmed ghost workers.

The stringent application of the recommendations of the Report is expected to impact on civil servants in no small measure.

Therefore, as a demonstration of Governor Yahaya Bello’s magnanimity to workers on the ‘Uncleared’ list, this APPEALS PANEL is being inaugurated in order to provide a soft landing for some categories of persons within that classification.
