Abia: Gov Otti grants corps members automatic employment

Governor Alex Otti has given automatic employment to nine ex-National Youth Service Corps members of Abia origin who received the Presidential Honours awards at the end of their service year.
Mr Otti announced the automatic employment while receiving the ex-corps members led by the NYSC coordinator in Abia, Gladys Adama, in his office on Tuesday.
The governor directed the head of service to issue the appointment letters to them immediately.
“On behalf of the state government, you are going to leave here with a token; but beyond the token, I hereby temporarily lift the embargo on employment to employ the nine of you, except if any of you is not interested. So, having lifted that embargo and having employed all of you, I also close the embargo,” the governor said.
He directed the Abia attorney general to communicate to the head of service to effect the employment of the nine ex-corps members without interviews.
“So, all you need to do is go and do your documentation, and then you can start work on Monday,” Mr Otti stated.
Mr Otti, who appreciated them for their outstanding performances, charged them to continue being outstanding in everything they did. He also thanked the State NYSC Coordinator for the great work she had done and for bringing them to him.
Chinomso Nwogu, who responded on behalf of the ex-corps members, thanked the governor for the recognition and appointment given to them. He promised that they would serve the state with commitment.
Ms Adama, while presenting the ex-corps members, said that they made the state proud during their service year. She said that they were decorated by the president on July 29following their outstanding performances in service.
The ex-corps members granted automatic employment include Promise Anyanwụ, Ezieme Uba, Ezinne Emmanuel, Grace Abia, Chiemela Nwafike, Mark Ugwa, Miracle Eke, and James Chukwuebuka.
