The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has
terminated the recruitment of over four hundred
staff of the State University over what he described
as lack of due process in their employment
processes.
Governor Fayose who disclosed this during an
interactive session with participants in the N-
Power Programme of the Federal Government from
the state in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, said he was
shocked that over 400 persons would be offered
employment without the positions being
advertised.

While commending the participants and enjoining
them to be active and hardworking, the governor
pledged a reward of N1m and full employment for
the best participant in the N-Power Programme.
“This is only a palliative as it will last for only two
years and I am strongly appealing to the Federal
Government to take the issue of job creation
serious. When somebody partakes in this
programme and is sent back to the labour market
after two years, that is going back to where he or
she started, the labour market,” he said.

“As for us, we will do our duty to distribute
participants to where they would work and monitor
them as well as ensuring that we do a proper data
capturing of the participants.
“For those in the agriculture arm of the
programme, they can take advantage of our desire
to adequately support rice and cocoa cultivation.
“We will support in the provision of inputs and
clearing of land. Next year, we are committing
about N250 million to clear farmlands across the
state.
