The no-retirement contract directive issued by the government does not apply to academia, the Minister of Education, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, has clarified.
He explained that the specialised nature of tertiary education made it peculiar as such its human resource requirement would be determined by their respective councils.
Government took a major decision on post retirement contract of appointment to public service.
For a public servant who had attained the age of 60, the new government's strong position is not to grant post retirement contract to such individuals.
