1,087 CIVIL SERVANTS RETIRED BY ENUGU GOVERNMENT

The state Commissioner for Information, Enugu State, Dr Godwin Udeuhele, said that the state government would compulsorily retire no fewer than 1,087 of its civil servants over cases of age-falsification and ill-health.

He told newsmen in Enugu, the state capital, that this was part of the outcome of the state executive council’s meeting stating that there were also proven cases of impersonation against some of the workers that would be relieved of their services.

“The committee also identified 3,916 ghost workers and directed the appropriate authorities to do the needful by perfecting their immediate exit from the service in line with extant laws,” he said.

“Approval was also given for the release of N55.99 million to enable the state Ministry of Works purchase 11 units of 250 KVA generators and refurbish existing ones to make traffic lights in the state more functional.

“The sum of N100 million was also approved for the Nigerian Construction and Furniture Company (NCFC) to turnaround the fortunes of the company that had been in comatose,” he said.

“While we sympathise with the family, the state government has since ordered the closure of the centre as well as set up a committee to undertake a fact-finding mission there,” he said.
