The letter dated April 6, 2017 and signed by a lawyer in the chambers, Samuel Ogala, drew the AG’s attention to the huge financial debt the commission would incur against the Federal Government if it continued to disobey the order of the National Industrial Court. The PSC had terminated the appointment of the workers in disobedience to an order of the court directing it to regularise their appointments and to pay their salaries and entitlements from 2013 when they were engaged. The letters which were issued to the workers on March 31, 2017, did not state any reason for the termination of appointment, but merely said it was in accordance with the provisions of the Public Service Rules 020801. The letter with reference number, PSC/L/PET/239/Vol. II, dated March 30,2017 was signed by the Director, Administration, Emmanuel Ibe on behalf of the Permanent Secretary of the commission. But the lawyer to the workers in his letter said the commission refused to capture his clients names in the Integrated Personal Payroll Information System thereby denying them their salaries and allowances from April, 2013 till date. This, he said was “a clear violation of Regulation 040102 and 130105 of the Federal Government Public Service Rules.”]]>
