Governor of Sokoto State, Dr Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, has reinstated Alhaji Suleiman Sarkiin Fulani, a former permanent secretary who was sacked by the immediate past administration of Aminu Waziri Tambuwal in the state.
Governor Aliyu, according to a statement signed by the chief press secretary to the governor, Abubakar Bawa, and made available to newsmen on Tuesday, also elevated Danfulani as the new Head of Service in the state.
Recall that the former permanent secretary in the state following his compulsory retirement by Tambuwal administration approached the National Industrial Court, Sokoto where he got judgement to be reinstated but was never implemented by the previous administration.
The court in its ruling nullified Sarkin Fulani’s compulsory retirement from the state civil service and subsequently directed that he should be reinstated back to office.
The court also directed payment of Sarkin-Fulani’s full entitlements.
Justice Kiyashot Demlak in his ruling then said the claimant had successfully proved his case of wrongful retirement based on legal arguments and presentation of required documents.
Justice Demlak said the defendant, Sokoto State Government, through its Counsel, Suleiman Usman (SAN), failed to prove the legality of its actions, bordering on the claimant’s alleged misconducts.
