The Rivers State Government has confirmed the sacking of over 1700 staff members it employed to work at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, over irregularities in the employment process.
The state government during the last lap of Chief Nyesom Wike’s administration, as governor, recruited Academic and Non-academic staff to work in the university.
But, two months after Sir Siminialaye Fubara assumed office, the state government announced the cancellation of the employment exercise it conducted at the university.
The State Government had directed all those employed through the exercise, who have worked for over six months to quickly return the employment letter issued them by the university as well as their Staff Identity Cards.
Mmom noted that the employment exercise had many irregularities and that it did not meet the standard set by the government, ordering that the exercise stands invalid.
He stated that all those engaged through the process stand unemployed, adding that a credible employment exercise would be carried out
