A Secured Automated Workers Screening and Verification System Using Biometric Authentication Technique

For some decades, government at both federal, state, and local government level have lost huge amounts of money annually expended on the salary wage of ghost workers or those who appropriate and collect such monies. This has been prevalent due to the inability of the government to come up with credible and globally acceptable means of screening, verification and management system for her genuine employees. It is against this background that this research is carried out to design and implement a screening, verification and management system for Taraba State workers. The design methodology adopted for the proposed system was object oriented design (OOD) methodology. Software development tools used were: XAMPP (localhost server), MySQLi, for database while the programming language used were PHP for scripting (i.e connection and communication with the database), HTML5 and CSS for the user interface design, javascript for system dynamic while the IDE used for the coding was notepad++ version 7.5.8. after successful implementation and evaluation of the proposed system it was capable of screening and verifying all registered workers.
