Edo Assembly terminates appointment of 324 workers
The Edo State House of Assembly Service Commission has cancelled the provisional employment of 324 people recently recruited into the Assembly service.
The affected persons received their appointment letters in September after attending interviews, but the commission said the recruitment did not follow due approval.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Chairman of the Commission, Ezehi Igbas, and the Secretary, Isoken Nehi-Olotu, and released to journalists on Wednesday.
According to the statement, “This is to inform the general public that the recent issuance of employment letters to 324 people by the Edo State House of Assembly Service Commission was unauthorised, illegal and unlawful.”
“Consequently, all employment letters issued to the 324 people in respect thereof, by the Edo State House of Assembly Service Commission are null, void and of no effect whatsoever.
“The Edo State House of Assembly Service Commission hereby tenders an unreserved apology to all recipients of the unauthorised and unlawful employment letters and deeply regrets all inconveniences caused to all persons affected by its actions.”
Speaking with Very Nigerian on Wednesday, Igbas said the commission could not proceed with full employment due to prevailing constraints.
He added, “What we gave them was provisional employment, and we were hoping that it would be made full. However, it is no longer feasible as things are now.”
