Ondo State Government has removed about 600 persons working in palaces of traditional rulers across the state from its payroll.
The President of the National Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE, in Ondo State, Bumi Eniayewu, who is also a member of the Local Government Service Commission of the state, confirmed the development on Monday.
He said .
“It appears that this is coming from complaints from traditional rulers who had to inherit their staff even against their own wish,” he said.
“The palace staff have not been sacked, it is a return to the old order, so that the Kabiyesies can have some measure of control over their own staff.
“We have situations where the employees are misbehaving so that sometimes a Kabiyesi will come and be looking for his driver who will not come to work and yet will get paid.”
Mr. Emiayewi noted that with the development, the palace staff will “hold their appointments at the pleasure of the Kabiyesi.”
Asked if the palace staff would not be short-changed should cheques be issued to them for onward payment to their staff instead of paying them directly, the NULGE president said their terms of employment would be decided between them and the monarchs.
“The monarchs know their staff well and they should be able to iron out such issues amicably,” he added.
