Depression kill man after ‘losing’ FG employment that made him quit his job

A man has died of depression, months after being denied the FG employment that made him quit his job, Thecable reports.

When the National Pension Commission (PENCOM) offered Mustapha Ajiya a letter of employment in March 2017, his joy knew no bounds. With two months left to assume duty, he resigned from his former job and started making preparations towards starting a new career. .

Then, Ajiya got a telephone call from the organisation that assumption of the new employees had been postponed indefinitely on the orders of Aisha Dahir-Umar, acting director-general of the organisation. .

The news didn’t go down well with the Zamfara indigene. He and his colleagues had written a recruitment test, done interviews and passed through screening processes from December 2016 to January 2017. .

They were finally employed. According to his colleagues, when the waiting for assumption seemed endless, Mustapha became emotionally disturbed. .
