The Delta State House of Assembly has overturned the Post Primary Education Board's 24-year decision to fire Emmanuel Emenetie.
Emenetie had sent a petition to the Assembly on February 17, 2000, over the Post Primary Education Board's wrongful termination of his job.
He asked for his restoration as Permanent Secretary, with all financial advantages taking effect from the date of termination, so that he might rejoin his colleagues in the service.
In addition, he asked for N4,800,000.00 in compensation for the years he did not have a job.
The MPs decided unanimously on Tuesday during their session, which was chaired by Speaker Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, that the dismissal was unlawful and ought to be reversed.
While recommending that Emenetie be paid all his salaries/emoluments, they said “he should be paid other benefits he is entitled to from the date of the unlawful termination of his employment through the rank to the position of Director which is supposed to be at least his present rank and through to the date of his supposed retirement.
“That Mr Emmanuel Emenetie be made to retire at the grade level of a Director. That the Chairman of the Post Primary Education Board and Head of Service of Delta State be directed that the recommendations/directives of the house as contained in paragraphs 1-3 above are complied with forthwith.”
The Deputy Speaker was tasked with following up to ensure compliance, while the Speaker, who applauded the Public Petitions Committee's findings, instructed the Clerk of the House to notify the relevant authorities of the House's decision.
