The minister for works, Dave Umahi has offered apology to civil servants after locking them out of the gate for coming late to work.

There was protest by the workers yesterday following the decision of the minister to lock them out.

In turn, they also locked the minister in his office in order to show their grievances.

The workers were all chanting ‘Umahi must go’ during the protest yesterday as they were surprised at the development.

However, the governor has addressed the workers and explained the reason for his decision. He asked for forgiveness and requested for partnership.

‘’Nobody locked the gate, we needed to get your attention. I came here on 22nd of august with two agenda. One is the welfare of the workers and number to is discipline.”

“There was going to be a holiday on Tuesday and to demonstrate my welfare agenda, I gave on my own N15 million to workers in this ministry.”

“Since 22nd Of August, I will come to work and see workers coming to work by 1pm, just a week ago I called all the directors for discipline. I ask for files and they say the staff isn’t yet around. “

“I offered that workers should come to work by 9 o clock, they are all here. I can’t do without you and you can’t do without me.”

“I came to work by 9:30 today and needed some files but not 5% of the workers were around.”

“If you were offended this morning, I offer apology to you.”

Throwback:
You want Nigeria to progress without overhauling the corrupt civil service and its mob called Labour Unions?

You must be a joker.

I stand with Dave Umahi over those whose best actions can never make Nigeria great.

Every public institution need a forceful reorientation of its labour force, but I wouldn't waste that time if I can as well sack them all and rehire.

The public service need to make firing as easy as it is in the private sector.

I don’t believe a disciplined man like Umahi will stoop low to apologize for taking the right step.

I’ll be iron-handed if I were to head any government agency because most civil servants lack discipline. They believe their union to protest and protect them.

The Civil Service should be handed over to the Military for restructuring Sanitation for just 6 months .

Can they try this stunt during the days of Idiagbon, Babangida or Abacha ?

Lock your boss in his office in protest against discipline for coming late everyday to work .
