Mimiko Recalls Sacked LG Workers

The Ondo State Government has re-instated about one thousand local government workers laid off last year, following discovery that their employment was illegal.

It has also waived the outcome of the last promotional examination in the state to ensure that workers in its employ were eligible for promotion.

In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, in Akure, on Thursday, it said about 50 workers each, from the 18 local governments, laid off following discovery that they were illegally employed, had been re-instated and the irregularities in their employment process corrected.

Government also disclosed that it had decided to promote every worker due for promotion irrespective of their performance in the promotional examination conducted for them for the same purpose.
