Makinde recalls five directors sacked by Ajimobi

By Toby Prince

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has recalled five directors of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) who were sacked by his predecessor, Abiola Ajimobi.

Executive chairman of BCOS, Dotun Oyelade, said the officials were sacked “without following the civil service rules.”

Mr Oyelade advised the reinstated workers to justify the governor’s action by contributing positively to the ongoing efforts of repositioning the corporation.

The directors, who were sacked in February 2016, were reinstated to the civil service on Thursday by Mr Makinde.

They are Peter Ajayi of the Commercial Services Department; Segun Lawale of the Administration and Supply Department and Akinniyi Akinlabi of the Engineering Services Department.

Others are Oyeboade Oyewole of the News and Current Affairs Department and Ademola Adeniyi of the programmes department.

During his campaign in 2019, Makinde promised to revisit the cases of the officials.
