Governor Yahaya Bello pardons civil servants who indulged in 11 of the 44 infractions listed by the Screening Committee. This happened at the Kogi Stakeholders Meeting held this evening in Government House, Lokoja to update the public about the findings and resolutions of the screening exercise which has been laid to a rest, at least as it was carried out over the last year.
Labour and Civil Servants were highly praised for their understanding and cooperation during this period.
1. Absence from work for study leave without approval.
Decision: Such certificates will not be recognized in the area of promotion.
2. Absence from work for NYSC without approval.
Decision: The one year salaries received by such workers would be refunded back to the state.
3. Disparity in statutory declaration of age and age contained in primary school certificates.
Decision: Pardoned. The oldest age on record will be used.
4. Those appointed and employed without requisite academic qualifications.
Decision: To be reverted to their appropriate levels.
5. Those employed as trained teachers then seconded to non teaching establishments.
Decision: They will be asked to go back to classroom.
6. Improper career advancement and promotion
Decision: To be regraded and placed on their appropriate grade levels.
7. Those employed with certificate of proficiency and promoted.
Decision: should be regraded to their appropriate levels.
8. Multiple declaration of age.
Decision: Earliest age on record to be taken as official.
9. Staff placed above their qualification
Decision: To be regraded.
10. Staff on stagnation: this refers workers who were employed and placed below grade levels for their entry qualifications. For example, if an SSCE holder should ordinarily be placed on Grade level 4 but is placed on level 2, they should be promoted and their monies paid to them before the end of May.
11. Those who served above statutory age and years of service have been pardoned. But the monies taken for the period should be recovered from their gratuity.
Then I came online to this message from a friend of mine.
Profound gratitude to our people for their patience with their Governor as he fixes our State even in the face of opposition who would rather play politics with critical issues of governance.
Kogi is on the path of greatness!
In addition, one of the demands of JAC of Tertiary institutions for which our students have been at home is that a total sum of 290 million in tax waivers to lecturers of some state owned tertiary institutions be refunded. The Governor said even though this sum can provide social amenities to communities across the state, for the sake of students, the money shall be paid over a period of time.
