The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has foreclosed the re-absorption of its 71 disengaged officers, saying the National Assembly had endorsed their sack.
The officers were compulsorily retired in 2006 in what the agency called administrative restructuring.
It's Head of Public Affairs, Mitchell Ofoyeju said the endorsement had been conveyed to the agency via a letter signed by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasuwa.
Ofoyeju said the agency had also been directed to immediately settle the gratuities and pensions of the affected staff.
The House of Representatives has considered the report of the Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes in respect of the petitions written by the 71 disengaged staff.
They resolved that having paid the three months salary in lieu of notice, the agency should immediately proceed to pay the gratuities and pensions of the affected staff as due process has been established to have been followed.
Ofoyeju said the Agency Chairman, Ahmadu Giade had already indicated readiness to commence payment as soon as possible.
