In a statement by Ler Olayin, a special assistant for public communications and new media, Fayose warned that the president of the position indicated that union leaders should be prepared for the collective dismissal of the PCA government at federal and state level.
Fayose also repeated his full commitment to the welfare of workers in Ekiti, saying:
“Not minding the State’s inability to pay salary as at when due, owing to paucity of fund, I will not sack any worker under any guise.”
The statement reads,
“By openly supporting the sack of about 22,000 teachers in Kaduna State, President Buhari has approved loss of jobs as the official policy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) instead of creation of three million jobs per year that the party promised Nigerians.”
“Here in Ekiti State, the immediate past APC government used competency test to demote many secondary school principals, vice principals and primary school head teachers, leading to sudden death of many of them. The government then tried to force the competency test on the teachers but they resisted.
“Today, students in Ekiti State are still being taught by the same teachers that the APC government said were not competent and the students were the ones whose performance gave the State first position in NECO in 2016 and 2017. The State also moved from 26 percent performance in the West African Examination Council (WAEC) examination in 2014 to 36.5 percent in 2015, 42 percent in 2016 and 74.86 percent in 2017.
“Therefore, instead of hiding under competency test to sack teachers, the APC government both at States and federal government levels should come to Ekiti State and learn how we were able to get optimum performance from the same set of teachers the immediate past APC government in the State labeled incompetent and harassed with competency test.”
While declaring that it was not the right of any state government to set exams for teachers, Governor Fayose added,
“The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria was set up for the purpose of regulating the teaching profession in Nigeria.”
Governor of Kaduna state , Nasir El-Rufai then reacted to Gov. Ayodele Fayose’s mockery saying it is APC policy to retrench workers after promising to create jobs for Nigerians.
El-Rufai in defence of his planned action said the government is replacing unqualified people not sacking teachers. According to him, the aim is to save the future of the next generation.
El-Rufai said on twitter @GovKaduna,
“Your excellency sir, we are not sacking teachers in kaduna, rather we are replacing unqualified people who are unfit to be called teachers to save the future of next generation.”
