Rivers State Governor, Sir. Siminalayi Fubara, says the cancelled employment process at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni, due to intolerable irregularities, will be revisited.
This is as the governor assured that a new governing council was now in place to oversee the process and ensure elimination of the irregularities that hampered the previous process.
Governor Fubara gave the assurance in Port Harcourt when he received some protesters who came to register their grievances as victims of the failed process.
The Governor, who was represented by the Head of Service, Dr. George Nwaeke, told the protesters that it is not correct that the Governor Fubara-led administration had neglected them or abandoned the process.
The governor explained that the employment process was cancelled for contravening the initial approval given to the institution.
Governor Fubara said the management of the institution was directed, based on their request, to employ only eight hundred and sixty seven staff with four hundred and twenty of such persons being academic staff, but regretted that the institution employed one thousand nine hundred persons with only one hundred and twenty three being academic staff, which was grossly unacceptable.
