Federal University Lafia Management Sanctions Erring Staff Members.
The Governing Council of Federal University Lafia (FULafia) has recently approved the termination of appointment of some members of staff and demotion of one other.
According to a statement issued by the FULafia Information and Public Relations Unit, the council gave the approval when its members met to consider the report of the Staff Disciplinary Committee, which was established to look into cases of illegal employment of staff in the University.
The dismissed members of staff included Taiwo Kehinde, Clement Usoro Jackson, Usman Anas and Ahmed Muhammed Abdulazeez, while Apeshi Salihu Abubakar was demoted from the rank of Administrative Assistant to Executive Officer (Administration).
Abubakar was demoted for his role in facilitating illegal employment while the dismissed workers were found guilty of extortion of money to offer employment in the University.
It would be recalled that the media, this year, reported stories of alleged maladministration and corruption in the process of employment in FULafia under the tenure of the former Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ekanem Braide.
The media claimed that in some cases, money was collected from some people in order to offer them employment.
