March 14, (THEWILL) – Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has disclaimed all disengagement letters issued in the last couple of weeks to workers in Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, insisting that they are illegal, null and void.
The Governor maintains that his administration’s commitment to workers’ welfare in the university remains sacrosanct and hasn’t sanctioned this action.
THEWILL reports that over 50 workers, including academic and non-academics, have received disengaged letters in the last two weeks.
While the Governor disclaimed the letters, a statement issued on Tuesday, by his Special Adviser on Media Project, Crusoe Osagie, said Obaseki has also ordered an investigation into the issue.
He warned that action would be taken swiftly on anyone found culpable.
The State Government assured that it would uphold the interest of the university workers and position the State as a suitable place to live and work.
