According to the Adamawa State Government, 1,699 employees who had been let go by the previous administration have been hired back.
On Monday, Solomon Kumangar, the governor of Yola's director general of media and communications, made this announcement.
He said that 699 batch D instructors who had previously been hired and assigned to elementary and secondary schools were the impacted employees and that they had been rehired.
He noted that 1,000 healthcare professionals had also been restored into the workforce and claimed that the reason for their earlier disengagement was the previous administration's flawed hiring procedure.
“We conducted discreet investigation to determine anomalies with a view to right the wrong committed during their recruitment as we don’t witchunt anybody, ” he said.
In order to improve the road traffic sector, Kumangar pointed out that the current administration has just hired 70 more Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs).
He claimed that the effort would encourage excellent driving habits among drivers, increase traffic safety, and guarantee that the vehicles being driven are capable and road worthy.
“This would also enhance revenue generation drive of the government through issuance of vehicle particulars and sanctioning of erring motorists.”
He continued by mentioning that the government had just hired 2,000 more scientific instructors, who had been assigned to secondary schools to teach the core science topics.
In order for the state to keep up with the current worldwide trend in science and technology, he added that the project was designed to promote science education.
“We have recently converted many of the Governnent House staff to permanent and pensionable staff, instead of being casual or working on temporary status.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Adamawa state government had employed 1,113 technical health workers who were deployed to rural areas for wider and effective coverage of existing health facilities.
