The Office of the Cross River State Accountant General has revealed that a total of 1,221 new employees have been successfully added to the payroll between September and November 2025. The office also says significant progress has been made in the integration of newly recruited workers into its payroll system, following months of verification and onboarding.
Providing a breakdown of the figures, the Accountant General revealed that 180 staff were onboarded in September, followed by 281 in October, while 559 newly employed personnel were captured in November. In addition, 201 Forest Guards (Batch 1) have been fully integrated into the system as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the state’s environmental and security operations.
The statement reiterated the state government’s commitment to transparency and efficiency in workforce administration. “Government remains committed to ensuring that every duly employed worker is accurately captured and promptly remunerated,” the Accountant General said, assuring that no eligible employee will be left out of the process.
It further disclosed that the payroll onboarding exercise is still ongoing, with more verified workers scheduled for capture in December. This continued integration, it noted, is part of the government’s broader workforce reform aimed at improving service delivery across ministries, departments and agencies.
The Accountant General commended all newly employed personnel for their patience throughout the verification period and urged them to remain dedicated to their duties as government works to ensure seamless payroll inclusion for all.
