The UK taxi driver still being paid as a Nigerian civil servant

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has ordered a crackdown on former civil servants who continue to receive salaries despite working abroad or leaving their jobs.

This revelation comes amidst widespread "ghost-working" issues in Nigeria. One such case is Sabitu Adams, now a UK taxi driver, who still gets paid by Nigeria.

Tinubu demanded repayment of fraudulently received funds and accountability for complicit supervisors.

Despite criticism of his administration's talk versus action, Tinubu vows to address governance costs and inefficiencies, signaling a broader effort to tackle corruption and misuse of public funds in Nigeria's civil service.
