The vexed issue of ‘ghost worker’ and its adverse effect on the citizenry is the thrust of this week’s edition of Professor Johnbull, the TV drama series powered by Globacom.In the new episode aptly entitled “Ghost worker”, the phenomenon is stretched to include idlers and malingerers who absent themselves from their duty posts, but still get paid at the end of the month.
The protagonist and Nollywood veteran, Kanayo O. Kanayo (KOK), carries out a treatise on the matter, lamenting that in government ministries and agencies, millions of Naira that could have been spent on other sectors of the nation’s economy are paid out to ghost workers, idle workers and those who refuse to do the jobs they are engaged to do.
The erudite Professor defines the ‘ghost worker’ phenomenon to cover fake job agencies, which advertise spurious and non-existent job vacancies with the intention of duping genuine job seekers and applicants.
