As a way of bringing im­mediate relief for the distraught children of the late Minister of State for La­bour, Mr James Ocholi (SAN), the federal government has announced automatic employ­ment at the Federal Ministry of Justice for Aaron, his eldest son.

This is just as the Federal Ex­ecutive Council will dedicate today's meeting to pay special tribute to the late minister as one of its active member.

This was contained in a press statement issued by Comrade Salihu Isah, Special Adviser to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Jus­tice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) in Abuja.

Isah hinted that the AGF re­vealed this to the Ocholi family when he paid a condolence visit to his Kado Estate residence to convey President Buhari's con­dolence message.

In a similar vein, Malami dis­closed that Aaron's other sib­lings are to enjoy scholarships for their educational pursuits courtesy of the federal govern­ment who has pledged to cush­ion the effect of the loss.

He said the late Senior Advo­cate of Nigeria was an integral part of the change effort of the federal government.

Malami disclosed that Presi­dent Muhammadu Buhari personally mandated him to inform the family of the late minister that his administra­tion will do all within its power to ensure he is not missed.

He, however, enjoined them that death is a necessary end that is bound to happen, adding that God in his infinite mercy had a reason for allowing them to go the way they did.

"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.
