Yar'Adua Reinstates Another Perm Sec

The Federal Government has once again reinstated one of the sacked permanent secretaries in the last days of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration.

Alhaji Sheidu B. Ozigis who was Permanent Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Information and Communication was said to have been recommended for disciplinary action by his then Minister, Mr. Frank Nweke jnr. He was amongst other permanent secretaries sacked in May 2007 by the past administration over allegations, largely bordering on disagreements with their bosses.

Source told LEADERSHIP that President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua had in August ordered the reinstatement of former permanent secretary in the ministry of Labour, Dr. Timiebi Koripamo-Agary and her counterpart in charge of Railway Development at the ministry of Transportation, Mr. S. D. Matankari and over 2,000 workers sacked in the gale of the monetisation policy.
In a letter reinstating Alhaji Ozigis as a Permanent Secretary in the Federal Civil Service and signed by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Engr. Ebele O. Okeke, state that the approval of President Yar'Adua to reinstate him is with effect from May 25, 2007 and his services are construed to have run continuously as a civil servant and as a permanent secretary. The letter to this effect was dated November 13, 2007.
Alhaji Ozigis still has about seven years in the service before retirement age.

"The reinstatement of the permanent secretaries and the civil servants will in no small way restore the confidence of public servants in the country especially as it relates to job security", the statement added.

President Yar'Adua by his actions continues to show Nigerians that OBJ's administration was a lawless one.
I wonder if OBJ will be able to walk on the street like a normal Nigerian.
