Reps Order NPF, NAHCON Personnel Reinstatement

The House of Representatives has mandated the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) to reinstate personnel who were recently disengaged. This directive follows an investigation that found the dismissals to be unlawful and lacking due process. Lawmakers expressed concern over the manner of the disengagements, emphasizing the need for adherence to established procedures. The affected individuals are to be restored to their former positions. This decision underscores the legislature's oversight role in ensuring fair labor practices within government agencies. The NPF and NAHCON are expected to comply with the order promptly. Further actions may be considered if the directive is not met.

This action highlights the legislative branch's role in ensuring due process and protecting employment rights within government institutions.
