EKITI STATE GOVERNMENT HAS ORDERED THE SACK OF OVER 400 WORKERS

By





Over 400 workers of the State University (EKSU), Ado-Ekiti sack has been ordered by Ekiti state government on the grounds that their employment did not follow due process.
The governor gave the order yesterday at an interactive session with the beneficiaries of the N-Power programme of the Federal Government.
Fayose, who is the University’s Visitor, said appointments into public service must be credible and transparent.
He wondered why the university authorities employed 400 workers without advertising the positions as required by law.
The governor said he had to cancel the recruitment process to give equal opportunities to applicants.
“This is unacceptable and the Vice Chancellor must find a way to address the issue and give all interested applicants a level playing field.”
The governor called on the Federal Government to tackle unemployment, saying the N-Power Programme was only a palliative.
Participants are to take part in teaching, health, community and agriculture activities for the next two years and would be paid a monthly stipend of N30,000.
“This is only a palliative as it will last for only two years and I am strongly appealing to the Federal Government to take job creation serious.
“When somebody partakes in this programme and is sent back to the labour market after two years, he/she is going back to the starting point, the labour market.
“As for us, we will distribute participants to where they would work and monitor them.
We will also ensure that we do a proper data capturing of the participants.”
One of the participants, Oke Motunrayo Alaba, praised the governor for his support.
