Fayose Directs Disciplinary Committee To Try Late- Comer Civil Servants

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has warned that civil servants who engage in late-coming and truancy may be shown the way out of service if they remain recalcitrant.

The Governor who was at the state Secretariat at 8:00am on dot, apprehended over 30 civil servants who came late and directed that disciplinary committee be set up to try them with
appropriate sanctions.

Many of the civil servants on
sighting the Governor scampered around to avoid being apprehended.

Meanwhile, the Governor has stated that
the unscheduled visit will continue until appropriate discipline has been entrenched in the civil service, saying he could be at the MDAs anytime.

He noted that if the government is working round the clock to ensure
the workers salary are paid as at when due in-spite of the economic downturn, the workers should reciprocate the gesture by being alive to their responsibilities.

The Head of Service, Dr. Olugbenga while reacting said several warnings, interface and memos have been issued on the need for civil servants to shun lateness and absenteeism.

He noted that it is time to enforce
strict adherence to the civil service rules saying workers have to sit tight and reciprocate the gesture of the
government which has made the salaries and allowances of workers a priority.
