The organised labour in Ekiti State has protested the ongoing mass sack of workers by the Ekiti State Government. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the state government recently sacked 1,000 workers of Ekiti State University. Also sacked were 200 workers of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), who received their sack letters few days to Christmas. It warned against the continuation of the trend, claiming that there were plans to sack more workers across all ministries, departments, agencies and schools. The workers expressed serious concern over rumours that more workers would soon go and expressed shock that Gov Fayemi, who reinstated workers sacked by his predecessors, was replicating same evil.
