The Ekiti State Government has expressed its readiness to
review the procedure that led to the recruitment of no fewer than 2,000 new
workers into the civil service by the immediate past administration of Mr. Ayo
Fayose.
The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that the new set
of workers had continually protested their non-recogition as bonafide civil
servants by the current government, as well as non-payment of their salaries
seven months after their engagement.
The State Commissioner for Information, Tourism and Values
Orientation, Mr. Muyiwa Olumilua, disclosed this in Ado-Ekiti on Monday while
addressing a group of physically challenged people also affected by the
exercise.
Olumilua noted that that none of the appointments, involving
various categories of people went through due process, especially as it
involved biometrics.
He said the recruitment was hurriedly done, even up till the
very night of the day of exit of the former governor.
The commissioner said it was on basis of that the Fayemi’s
administration set up a committee headed by the Deputy Governor, Chief Bisi
Egbeyemi to review the appointments.
He said the committee was also to determine the actual
available vacancies within the public service.
