The Governing Council of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, on Thursday announced the reinstatement of 363 workers. The Head of the Directorate of Information and Corporate Affairs of the university, Mr Bode Olofinmuagun, confirmed the recall in a statement in Ado Ekiti. According to him, the decision to recall some of the disengaged staff was reached at the council’s special meeting which took place on January 7. “Some falsified their ages, some were illegally recruited and many were indeed ghost workers who never showed up for the exercise,” he said. The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that no fewer than 1,000 staff, including academics, were disengaged in December 2019.
