Ekiti Assembly sacks workers as Labour protests
Chairman of the Commission, Honourable Taiwo Olatunbosun stated this in a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday.
Honourable Olatunbosun said the decision was taken in compliance with the report of staff audit undertaken as part of the efforts to reorganize the commission for effective service delivery.
Speaking further, Olatunbosun said the audit, which started last year on assumption of office of the present Commission members engaged the services of Auditors over complaints, agitations and petitions from members of staff on allegations of absenteeism, arbitrary promotion and placement of officers above colleagues without regards to scheme of service.

The organised labour in Ekiti State has tackled the Ekiti State House of Assembly over what it termed an alleged secret attempt to sack some workers under the guise of staff audit.
The organised labour in a letter jointly signed by the Secretaries of Nigeria Labour Congress, Coms Taiwo Akinyemi, Trade Union Congress, Lawrence Kuloogun and Joint Negotiating Council, Gbenga Olowoyo, said the unions will resist any attempt to shove out some workers under the facade of staff audit.
In a letter dated 11th January 2021 and addressed to the Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Funminiyi Afuye, warned that sacking any worker at this point would strain the smooth and robust relationship between the labour and the administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi.
