The Ogun state government has recalled 12 out of the 16 dismissed workers who were sacked over their alleged unethical roles, during the 2016 World Teachers Day celebration, held on October 5, 2016.

This was contained in a statement signed by the State Head of Service, Elder Sola Adeyemi, and made available to journalists in Abeokuta.

The statement added that 19 other workers who were placed on suspension have also been recalled.

Those who were reinstated to the service of the state, were directed to resume duty on January 2, 2017, while the recalled officers were asked to return to work on Monday, December 12, 2016.

The Head of Service explained that the affected workers were recalled following interventions by the national and local leaderships of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC), the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), traditional rulers, religious leaders, elders and well-meaning personalities.

Adeyemi noted that the cases of the remaining four dismissed workers, including the State Chairman of the NLC, Akeem Ambali, the State Chairman NUT, Dare Ilekoya, Eniola Atiku and Nola Balogun, were still undergoing evaluation.
