The state chairman, Comrade Abdullahi Danfulani, who disclosed this at a news briefing to mark the Workers’ Day celebration, said it was worrisome for someone to be relieved of his appointment or retired from service without being paid his entitlements.

Danfulani, however, debunked the ongoing social media speculations that the state government was planning to retrench staff of 50 years and above from the Civil Service.
