An Industrial Court sitting in AKure, Ondo State capital on Tuesday 8th December 2020, has ordered the resinstatement of 32 Technologist staff of the Ekiti State University (EKSU) who were illegally sacked by the Management on December 5, 2019.
Justice K.D Damulak, the presiding Jugde also ordered that the University management pay each of the claimants a sum of N50,000 each as compensation.

While delivering his judgement he said: “ I have read the pleadings and the legal submissions of both counsels. I am of the opinion that the issue for determination is whether the claimants have proven their entitlement to the reliefs claimed.

” In determining this issue, it shall be necessary to determine 1. Whether the employments of the claimants enjoy statutory protection and 2. Whether the disengagement of the claimants was compatible with their status of employments.

Whether the employments of the claimants enjoy statutory protection.
The essence of a trial on record pursuant to order 38 Rule 33 of the Rules of this court is that the issue or issues for determination of the court are all legal questions. The question, whether the employments of the claimants enjoy statutory protection, means that it is important to determine the status of the employments of the claimants from the statute establishing the University, the University regulation and the claimants’ letters of employments. An employment is said to enjoy statutory flavor when the tenure, discipline and other conditions are as provided in the statute establishing the employee or institution. An employment with statutory flavor was defined by the court of Appeal in the case of N.E.P.A. v. EDEGBERO (2000) 14 NWLR (Pt.688)615; (2000) LPELR-6884(CA) relying on the decision of the Supreme Court decision in IMOLOAME V. WA.E.C. (1992) 11/12 SCNJ 121 at
135; (1992) 9 NWLR (Pt. 265) 303 thus; ” What in effect is an employment with statutory flavour. The Supreme Court had in the case of Imoloame v. WA.E.C. (1992) 11/12 SCNJ 121 at 135; (1992) 9 NWLR (Pt. 265) 303 defined it as: “Where the contract of service is governed by the provisions of a statute or where the Conditions of Service are contained in regulations derived from statutory provisions they invest the employee with a legal status higher than the ordinary one of Master and Servant. They accordingly enjoy statutory flavour”.: ” The claimants’ counsel rightly gave a take off point as the case of K.S.J.S.C V TOLANI (2020) ALL FWLR (PART 1025)P.480 at 503 where the Supreme Court Held thus;
The following two elements must exist before a contract of employment can be said to have statutory flavor;
a. The employer must be a body set up by the constitution or sta
b. The statute or regulations made pursuant to the constitution Statute or law must make provisions regulating the employm of the category of the employee concerned especially i discipline.
” A statute is a law made by the national or state legislature. The defendant is a creation of law, University of Ado-Ekiti law of 2008, amended in 2011 and 2014. To this extent, the first requirement is met. The second requirement is whether the said law or the regulations made pursuant to that law protects the employment of the category of the claimants so that they cannot be terminated by notice or salary in lieu of notice for services not required.



I have read the 24 sections of the University of AdoEkiti law of 2014. I find in section 5(a)(iii), the power of the University to institute academic, administrative, technical, professional and other posts and offices and to make appointments thereto. Section 11(a)(c) empowers the University to make statutes which means Rules and Regulations.
” It is also worthy to note that the claimants are staff of a state owned University. They are accordingly in the public service of the state according to section
318 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended being staff of an Educational institution established and financed by the Government of Ekiti State.



” In DANIEL M. OGBAJE V. ABUJA INVESTMENT AND PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED (2007) LPELR-11855(CA) the court held that; The appellant’s employment, including the procedure for terminating his appointment is regulated by the terms and conditions of Exhibit “F”, the respondent’s Staff Conditions of Service. Consequently, the justice of this case demands that the termination of the appellant’s’ employment must be in accordance with those terms and conditions contained in Exhibit “F” in consonance with the rules of natural justice. What is more, where as in this case, an employee by virtue of Exhibit “A” is qualified by his appointment to a permanent and pensionable position, the employee is not in a servant and master relationship with the employer. The employment cannot be determined at the will of parties but in accordance with the terms and obligations of the conditions of the employment.,” He submitted.

Speaking further, he said: “Whereas The Claimants vide a General form of Complaint filed on the 3rd March, 2020 claims against the Defendants the following reliefs:
i. A Declaration that the disengagement of the claimants as staff of the 1st defendant in the manner it was done was unlawful, irregular, illegal and therefore null and void and of no effect.
ii. An Order for the immediate restoration and reinstatement of the claimants to their offices without loss of salaries, promotions, emoluments and other allowances due to them as staff of the 1st defendant.
iii. Payment of the claimants’ three (3) month salaries, emoluments and other allowances owed them before the purported and unlawful disengagement.
iv. Payment of the claimants’ salaries, emoluments and allowances from the date of their purported and unlawful disengagements till date of judgment and thereafter.
v. An Order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants whether by themselves or through their servants, agents, privies acting through them or on their behalf from removing the claimants as staff of the 1st defendant without due process of law.
vi. Ten Million Naira (N10,000,000.00) only being general and aggravated damages against the defendants for the unlawful and illegal disengagement of the claimants in the manner it was done.
vii. Cost of this suit.
AND AFTER considering the written submissions of P.P Monde for the Claimants and Dayo Akinlaja SAN for the Defendants.
It was held that the claimants’ case succeed and the court orders as follows;
COURT ORDER

The employments of the claimants with the defendants enjoy statutory flavor.
The employment of the claimants with the defendants is regulated by the defendants statute,Regulations and the claimants’ letters of employment.
The disengagement of the claimants in the manner it was done was unlawful, null and void.
The claimants are hereby reinstated to their erstwhile positions in the 1st defendant.
The 1st defendant is hereby ordered to pay the claimants their three months salaries owed them before their unlawful disengagement.
The 1st defendant is hereby ordered to pay the claimants their salaries, emoluments and allowance and from the date of their unlawful termination till reinstatement today 8th December, 2020 and subsequently till retirement.
The claimants are not entitled to general damages.
The defendants are also to pay to each claimant cost of N50, 000.00.
The salaries and cost up till today 8th December, 2020 are to be paid within 30 days of this judgment or the amounts will attract 10% interest per annum.” He said.

By Kehinde Adewole
A lecturer at the Department of Guidance and Counselling,, Mr. Olusola Alabi has allegedly dropped dead while performing his duty in the school.
Daily Sun gathered that the University Don slumped and died due to stress while he was busy computing results of students.

The source said: there was a sad event today in the faculty of education today as a lecturer named in the department Guidance and Counseling slump and died in the office following over stress from results computation. The excess work load due to disengagement of some of his colleagues."
Disengaged staffers of Ekiti State University (EKSU), and the management, had on Monday fought dirty over the ugly development rocking the institution.

The management and some staff members who were not recalled after the December, 2019 mass sack have been at each other's throat over their disagreement on the grounds which the management gave for disengaging the staff members.

While the Management had claimed the affected staff were employed through irregular means, the staff members have insisted that their employment followed due process and was approved by the University Council, adding that they have documents substantiating this claim
.
The enraged staff members had at the weekend opened a can of worms on the development, alleging that the wife of the Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Ayoade Olanipekun is a product of irregular appointment without Council approval, as her appointment as a non-academic staff in 2017 by the VC, was allegedly converted to academic appointment within two years instead of five years stipulated by the University regulations.

Public Relations Officer of EKSU, Mr. Bode Olofinmuwagun, countered the affected staff's claims, claiming that Mrs. Olanipekun's appointment followed due process. He put the blame on the staff's plight on the former VC of the school, Prof Oye Bandele, claiming that Bandele's recklessness in dishing out appointments affected the monetary status of the school with the result that it had bitten more than it could chew, hence the need to disengage staff with alleged irregular appointments.

But reacting, the enraged staff in another press release on Monday night, dismissed the PRO's claims as far from being the truth, saying : " We insist, only the staff recruited in 2016 were wickedly disengaged as none of the 2017-2018 staff were disengaged against the lies been meddled around.
For justification we hereby call on management led by Prof. Edward Olanipekun to present the approval of 2017-2018 to Mr. Governor and members of public for confirmation .

" Let it be said again that the wife of the Registrar who was a Teacher at the University Staff School was unilaterally converted to a Senior Assistant Registrar.

" We maintain the position that VC"s wife ,Mrs Ayoade Olanipekun's appointment in the 2017 employment was never approved by Council. Did the Council also approve that she change cadre from Administrative to Academic Staff within two years as against the five years that the University scheme of service says?

" We demand the report and implementation of the Financial Report and the report of the #2Bn looted through the portal. Mismanagement of University revenues caused the salary areas problems, not the 2016 staff," they said.
The angry staff members raised others querries about the issues, saying:" Where is it written in the University Law Books that staff whose employment had been regularised, confirmed and promoted are summarily disengaged without follwoing the extant rules of the University?

" We enjoin the Director of Council to furnish the PRO the excerpts of all the Council meetings of 2016 so that he can be acquitted with the happening therein

" Is the PRO not aware of the approval by the former Council Chairman in Feb 2016 where the former VC sought for the temporary employment with collated vacancies with the financial implications?

" Was the interview held in March 2016 for Academic Staffs and Technologists a self exercise done without earlier approvals?

" The Registrar may wish to explain to the PRO the implications of been offered a Permanent Appointment and the difference between same and an offer of Temporary Appointment

" Prof. Bandele was reckless in appointments in 2016 till the Governor directed that it be stopped forthwith, yet Council approved that 156 staffs be employed in 2017

" Let the PRO define what is meant by offer of Temporary employment that the current VC's wife and 155 others who are said to have Council approval has. All appointment made between 2016 -2018 for non-teaching staff are temporary appointments

" When has membership of Cooperatives be a compulsion to all staff? The University is obliged to pay salary and allowances of all staff, the mode of spending same by the staff should not be an issue of the University neither is not been a member of a cooperative a crime.

" Let the Ledgers of the 7 Cooperative societies on campus be in the public domain so that the list of the so called staff be shown just as we can point to old staffs that reduced their contributions or withdrew membership. Is it not good to add that why has the University not remitted the deductions from our accounts to PFAs let alone add her counterpart contributions as the employers, or is it a case of the new staff too

" Who are the Technologists to be redeployed? Are they existings staffs or what?Are they Administrative staffs that can be redeployed from one unit to the other.

" Avail the public the excerpts of the Council meeting where the decision to employ the 156 was discussed and concluded as well as the Budgetary provisions for same in the 2016 University Budget. The employment of 2017 are slots for the Council members and politicians, that was how the present VC's wife was employed. There is no approval.

" The financial implication for 2016 staff is about 35M, the monthly deductions payable to the Cooperatives is about 120M.So how is the school management using the cooperative deductions to pay the salaries of the 2016 staff?," They said.

Some of the disengaged staff of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti have threatened to drag the institution to court, if it failed to reinstate them within the next 30-days
The workers, in a letter entitled “Letter on notice and pre-action notice” dated January 22, 2020, written by their lawyer, Olabanjo Ayenakin of Banjo Ayenakin & Co to EKSU Registrar, Olusola Arogundade.

Copies of the letters which was made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Friday alleged that they were unlawfully disengaged from the institution.

Ayenakin stated, “We the solicitors to Mrs Oyinlola Omowumi Yinka, Mr Oke Sanmi and Mr Idowu Lawrence Tosin (for themselves and on behalf of the 299 technologists, non-teaching senior staff and junior staff of your institution, who were employed in 2016, but who were unlawfully disengaged on 5th December 2019 of EKSU who are herein referred to as our client and on whose behalf this letter is caused to be written to you”.
“The appointments of our clients were regular and proper; contrary to the insinuation that the appointments were irregular,” are seeking “immediate restatement of our clients; and payment of all the salaries of our clients which your institution owed them before they were wrongfully disengaged from their appointments.
The lawyers are also seeking “payment of all our clients’ salaries from the time of disengagement till now and thereafter; and promotion of our clients to the deserved position without prejudice to the disengagement”.
Ayenakin stated that EKSU disengaged “our clients on the ground that their services were no longer required when our clients had not committed any offence, infraction or any act of misconduct and when our clients were not queried, disciplined or made to face any disciplinary panel”.

According to him, the Committee of the Governing Council had refused to budge even when the affected workers, in accordance with the letter of disengagement issued to them, “individually appealed to it that they committed no offence and that their disengagements were wrongful, null and void”.

Some of the disengaged staff of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti have threatened to drag the institution to court, if it failed to reinstate them within the next 30-days


The workers, in a letter entitled “Letter on notice and pre-action notice” dated January 22, 2020, written by their lawyer, Olabanjo Ayenakin of Banjo Ayenakin & Co to EKSU Registrar, Olusola Arogundade.

The lawyers stated, “Evidently, the disengagement of our clients in the manner in which it was done smacks of illegality and same is apparently malicious and devoid of fair hearing. The disengagement of our clients from their appointments is a direct affront and suspicious violation of the conditions of services of our clients as enshrined in the regulations of your university.

“Take notice that if your institution fails or refuses to reinstate our clients and accede to all other ancillary requests contained in this letter within 30 days from the date on this letter, we have our clients’ instruction to seek the reliefs contained herein, and that time, we shall not hesitate to seek relief bothering on aggravated damages against your institution,” Ayenakin stated.

Less than 5% save your money

Haba! Why? Reasons?

Evening fellow nairalander,

I will be traveling to the US soon, I will be visiting and staying with my brother and his wife, campus in view in one university in the same state for my PhD program. ALL expenses is on me as I lecture in tertiary institution. I haven't marry yet and no travel history.

What are my chances?

Some staff members of the Ekiti State University (EKSU) have tackled the Alumni association of the school on the recent sack of over 1000 staff members of the institution, accusing the association of complicity in the development.

In a statement by a group of the affected staff members, they said: ” It’s no more news that almost 1000 staff of different categories were relieved of their employments on the 5th of December following a decision of the University Council.

” One would expect the National leadership of the Alumni would have taken a position on this ugly situation at least if for or against the situation. Apart from the fact that scores of her members are involved in the unjust disengagement, the decision of the Council has caused unavoidable unrest in the University yet the Alumni desk has remains silent.



” Or should we say the National desk of the Alumni Association is not aware of this? The answer is no after all it’s Chairman, Dotun Adetuberu is a member of the University Governing Council that takes such decision. His silence can be understandable though a wicked one as he was able to influence that his 15 candidates during the recruitments are excused off the disengagement.



“It’s pitiable how we want to build a better nation when injustice parades everywhere. The University management forcefully tell graduates of the University to pay 2500 Alumni due before processing transcripts all for Adetuberu and Exco members, so how can he speak against this injustice.

” It was also gathered that the Alumni organization of the school was involved in shady deals like failure at several times to supply items allotted to it by the procurement even when they are not qualified to supply same.

” The status of the University if these categories of staff are sent parking should be bothering a worthy Alumni desk as courses might lose their accreditation, students might get unnecessarily worried and cause unrest hence disrupting academic activities but no, they have a glued lips because of their involvement on matters that are unethical.

” Governor Fayemi should please consider the plights of Lecturers and Technologists whose appointments followed due process and has helped the University to get accreditation in many of her courses as well as other staffs all who have their appointments confirmed over the years. He should have mercy on their families but should deal with management staff that are the brain behind the ghost staffs



” At a later date that is fast approaching, Adetuberu should be prepared to explain why his administration issues receipts that has no serial numbers to her members that pay due even after paying 300 for Bank tellers that should be free and what he did with 7.5m withdrew from the Association’s Ecobank Account.

The hottest part in hell is reserved for human that opt to remain silence in the face of injustice.

Are these questions feasible? It could make you loose the job, cos it can be termed that you are too inquisitive, can't keep secret.
