The staff members were given only 24 hours to have rectified their issues or risk losing their jobs according to an urgent communique sent out on Thursday, August 31st, by the University Director of Human Resources.
The staff members were found to lack appointment letters, during a recent investigation by the Auditor General as part of the ongoing payroll validation and verification across all government ministries, departments, and agencies.
These employees according to the HR director, were not validated because “they did not present their letter of first or current appointment.”
“The University had an exit meeting in the office of the Auditor General and it was agreed that the affected staff should present their individual letters of first and current appointment as applicable not later than Friday 1st September 2023” the staff were warned.

“The purpose of this communication, therefore, is to request all staff whose names appear on the list to present their letters of appointment to the Directorate of Human Resources without delay to enable this query to be revisited.
"Please note that no compliance may lead to deletion from the payroll by the office of the Auditor General. Let us respond timely to avoid any inconveniences.”
The government rolled out the payroll validation and verification exercise early this year. Through the compulsory exercise, all civil servants are given a number once verified as bona fide public servants.
The exercise is intended to eliminate ghost employees and to know the exact number of government employees and how much each earns and why.
