Nasarawa Orders Reinstatement Of Workers

The Nasarawa State Government has directed the immediate reinstatement of 46 people living with disability who were sacked from work in various local government areas of the state.
The order was contained in a statement signed by Hajiya Zainab Abdulmumini, the Secretary to the State Government in Lafiya.
Those to be reinstated are from Doma,  Lafia, Wamba, Jenkwe, Keana and Loko councils.
Others are in Kokona, Karu, Awe, Obi, Panda, Nasarawa Eggon and Gadabuki development areas.
The government directed all the appropriate authorities in the areas to comply with the order with immediate effect.
However  Gov. Umaru Al-Makura had inaugurated a seven-member committee to review the circumstances that led to the disengagement of over 7,000 staff in the state.
The workers considered with disability  were disengaged in August 2011 due the state government’s screening.
