Job Seekers’ Travails: Ekiti PDP Tackles Fayemi

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded an immediate refund of the over N100 million collected from job seekers in August, 2019 by the government of Dr Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti State.

The PDP said despite the fact that Governor Fayemi sacked over 3,500 workers in the State public service as well as the Ekiti State University and Teaching Hospital, he has refused to employ anyone since last year August that employment forms were sold to over 100,000 job seekers.

In a statement on Monday, by the Secretary of the Ekiti State Caretaker Committee of the PDP, Prince Diran Odeyemi, the party said “It appears the recruitment exercise done by the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) and Civil Service Commission has turned out to be  a scam, the over N100 million fraudulently collected from job seekers by the State government must be refunded.”

Odeyemi, who said it was painful that a Governor who prides himself as a democrat could throw over 3,500 families in the State into anguish by sacking people duly employed, added that “with his anti-people policies, Governor Fayemi has no doubt remained the greatest pain in the neck of Ekiti and its people.”
