#Still on Fayemi's Sack of 2,000 workers in Ekiti
As at August 2018, vacancies in the Ekiti State Public Service were 4,925.
Students of history of recruitment into the Public Service in the old Ondo State will remember that in 1981 and 1982, the UPN Govt of late Chief Adekunle Ajasin did mass recruitment of workers just as it was done in other Southwest States of Oyo, Ogun and Lagos then.
By 2016/2017, these workers had reached the mandatory 35 years in service, thereby occasioning mass retirements in 2016 and 2017.
Consequently, out of the identified 4,925 vacancies, 2,000 was approved for recruitment in 2018.
As at today, there will still be more than 3,000 vacancies in the service.
1. Total Vacancies as at 2018 - 4,925
2. Total Workers Recruited - 2,000
3. Financial Implication/Month:
a. State - N64,110,162.28 (N64.1m)
b. LGs. - N13,951,950
----------------------------------------------
TOTAL N78,062,112.28
========================
From the above, it should be clear that what the 2,000 workers recruited would have added to the State (including LG) Wage Bill is N78.1m per month and N934m per year.
Whereas Fayemi increased his SECURITY VOTE from N150m to N225m in November last year and later N250m (N100m increment).
So what is additional N64.1m to the State Wage Bill and N14m to the Wage Bill of the 16 LGs that Ekiti Govt can't pay?
And if Fayemi desires to use employment into the State Public Service as patronage to his party members and supporters, there are still over 3,000 existing vacancies.
Like I have maintained, Fayemi only sacked those 2,000 Ekiti indigenes because they were employed by Fayose, nothing more. But tomorrow, history will definitely remember all our deeds of today.
