The Federal Government has given an automatic employment to the eldest son of late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, Aaron.
Ocholi died in a fatal road mishap on Sunday along with his wife and one other son on Kaduna/Abuja highway.
Announcing the gesture on behalf of the government, the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, also said the gesture is to support the children left behind by the deceased.
He said Aaron will be employed by the Federal Ministry of Justice.
Malami, who was at the Ocholi family house at Kado Estate on Tuesday afternoon, used the occasion to convey his and President Muhammadu Buhari’s condolence message to the family.
The Minister further said Aaron’s other siblings would enjoy scholarships for their educational pursuits on the bills of the government.
“I am here to convey Mr President’s condolence message and he has asked me to personally inform you that you have been given automatic employment in the Federal Ministry of Justice. The employment letter is in process and you can resume work after now,” Malami said.
Speaking further, he told Aaron that, “Your father was a very hardworking and conscientious member of the Federal Executive Council who was very passionate and worked hard for the realisation of the change agenda of this government.
“Indeed, it is a sad moment for all of us and the vacuum which his death has created is not only for the family, but the leadership as well. He was a great pillar in the struggle which brought this administration to power. He played a major role in the merger process.”
