Kwara State Government has expressed readiness to commence screening of local government workers, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) teachers and workers of Teaching Service Commission across the sixteen local government areas of the state.
The announcement was contained in a statement by the Commissioner for finance and economic planning, Mrs Florence Oyeyemi.
Oyeyemi said the screen becomes necessary in order to have a prompt upward review of salaries in line with the new minimum wage.
The statement reads, “This is to inform the general public that a screening exercise will be conducted in all the 16 local government areas of the state for all SUBEB teachers, TSC teachers and local government workers from Monday, March 16 to Friday, March 20, 2020.
“All the above workers are expected to come along with the following documents:
1. Staff I.D with PSN.
2. Original higher qualification certificates with photocopies.
3. Passport photographs.
4. Original letter of appointment and letter of confirmation or appointment with photocopies.
5. Evidence of last promotion and bank details with BVN.
“All workers will be physically screened at the screening points of their respective local government headquarters for effective documentation.
“It is worthy to note that this exercise is different from the Human Resources management solutions also approved by the State Executive Council but yet to be deployed.
“This screening exercise is however mandated for positive review for prompt implementation of minimum wage.”
