The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has reinstated five permanent secretaries who were retired from the state civil service by the immediate past administration of Mr Ayodele Fayose.
Their reinstatement followed the hearing of their petitions by the National Human Rights Commission, which declared that they were unfairly treated.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode, listed the permanent secretaries as Mr Emmanuel Oso, Mr Alfred Ologuntoye, Mr Ayodeji Ajayi, Mrs Funke Falodun, Mr Ayoola Owolabi and Mr Babatunde Alokan.
Oyebode said their reinstatement was effective from November 19, 2018.
He said, “The five permanent secretaries were retired unlawfully in 2014 by the Fayose administration.
“The NHRC also agreed with the petitioners and the state government for their reinstatement and the settlement of all their outstanding salaries and allowances for the period of their illegal termination of appointments.
“Consequently, Governor Fayemi directed that they be reinstated accordingly.”
