The essence of the meeting, he said, was to reassign the affected aides and give them further instructions.
“But it will surprise you that none of them turned up for the
meeting. As a matter of fact, one them sent a message that he would not be able to attend the meeting,” Ajiboye explained.
The failure of the aides to attend the meeting was said to left the authorities with little or no choice than to relieve them of their appointments.
“Their action is an affront on the authorities of their employers. The truth is that they chose the path they wanted by refusing to attend the meeting, hence their sack, “the CPS added.
