Your wife is Guilty of Irregular Appointment, Disengaged staff Tell VC, Accuse Fayemi's Spokesperson of Telling lies
The Ekiti workers travails which led to unending lies being peddled around by the government functionaries depicted a clear case of the uninformed to be dishing out misinformation.
This case can be attested to through the reaction of the Commissioner for Information to Ekiti State Government, Hon Muyiwa Olumilua who displayed a crass ignorance of the happenings among the workforce and this singular act has put paid to the insinuations surrounding the unjust disengagement of certain workforce in Ekiti State that the state government is the master minder and the executioner of the said development especially the scenario in Ekiti State University where some group of workers were targeted for undue relieve of their jobs and for just no cause or tangible reasons..
The commissioner in his reaction made categorical statements against these innocent workers by saying that they were being laid off on the ground of age falsifications; this can be regarded as a puerile attempts to start garnering sympathies from public against the innocent workers by feeding the public with cheap lies,deceits and misinformation whereas the truth of the matter is; these innocent middle aged and innocent young workers on the special request and approval of the governing council headed by Prince Adeyeye in February 2016 applied for various posts in the university and were employed based on merit, credentials and qualifications in their relevant fields of studies in 2016 to fill the vacancies that were created through the expansion of the university's academic programs, course of studies and retired personnel which needed human resources for immediate accreditation both in teaching and non teaching sectors.
It was on record that in a bid to fill the deficit in human resources after the employment exercise which took place February through April 2016,similar procedures were adopted to absorb more hands in November 2016 which enabled the present Vice Chancellor, Prof. Edward Olanipekun the ample opportunity to secure job for her spouse, Mrs Ayoade Olanipekun in the non teaching category,the opportunity which was quickly converted into teaching even as against the university extant rules. Yet the VC was swift in disengaging those with approval i. e 2016 but exempted 2017-2018 ( with no approval) from being disengaged simply because the wife of the vice Chancellor happened to be a beneficiary despite they have no governing council approvals.
The most disgusting and embarrassing is how the state government functionaries are meddling into the affairs of the institution despite that they dismissed/serial denials of the insinuations that they masterminded the ugly scenarios especially the Governor who through his last media chat on 31st December, 2019 said he was just a visitor to the institution and would not have hand in such but surprisingly changed tune on 1st January 2020 that one of his achievements is the implementation of white paper in Ekiti state university. What a policy summersault!
The questions begging for answers include;
How on earth could these young workers be caught in the net of age falsification?
Why is it that the present management led by Prof Olanipekun who was a member of governing council when these people were employed just woke up in a day and lied against them in the presence of the Governor that over 300 workers employed between February and April 2016 forged certificates?
This unmitigated misery, apartheid like crime is what can never be redeemed by any extenuating circumstances in that, these young Ekiti workers (who has no iota of fault/ misdemeanor of any magnitude) but were unjustly laid off will in nearest future take over from these rulers that treated them as such.
It is also improper how they were being lied against as certificate forgers; yet those that were even culpable with the heinous act or crimes of certificate forgery and age falsifications were given soft landing.
"A stitch in time", they say " saves nine ";
it is high time the Ekiti government reinstated these innocent workers so as to let the sleeping dog's lie because, the more they are kept out of jobs, the more the state government loses credibility and this will in turn make the civil / public service of the state a risk because job security would no longer be guaranteed.
