Protesting workers in the Ministry of Works have locked the minister, Dave Umahi, inside his office on Thursday morning.

The workers, who accused Umahi of highhandedness, adding that the minister prevented workers who were late to work from gaining access to the ministry.

The union members comprising the Housing and Works Ministry decided to lock up the ministry.
The workers also blocked entry and exit into the building thereby preventing the minister from leaving the office premises.

They also claimed that Umahi “stopped engineers and directors from doing their work, and has been breaking public service rules since his appointment, by bringing in consultants to run the affairs of the ministry”

A union official, Williams Kudi, said that the minister has refused to grant them an audience to express their c

Video: 'He must go', workers protest after Works minister Umahi locks them out over lateness

Vanguard

dem wan treat him talk talk

Effecting change in a corrupt system will definitely attract attacks from those benefiting from the rots.

They won’t try this with wicked Wike.

I remember in abakaliki he ask soldiers to beat citizens and frog jump them for coming to work late

Federal public service is very different from the state service. Any minister that want to take on the civil servant will run into trouble sooner than later. Umahi needs to calm down and work with the ministry staff if he intends to achieve anything meaningful in the ministry.

Wahala 😂

He has to be tactful with them!

Civil service is one of the biggest problems of Nigeria. Very indiscipline institution.

Hehehe

Op don change the title of the thread.. mrcheew

Minister the workers are feeling the heat of the poor leadership of your party, allow them to breathe

Why did they come to work late?

Jideji:
watch many of them will be sacked later

like Top Staff

These are the bunch of people that have vowed that Nigeria will never move forward.
Umahi style of leadership has denied them all the kickbacks they use to collect hence the protest.
They are probably sponsored by corrupt politicians/contractors.

These idiots are trying Tinubu, they will know why he is called JAGABAN Borgu very soon.

A new Sheriff is in town, truants and lazy dogs must shape up, or be shaken out.

Nyezom Wike the wicked one will do his own too. We will see what you all useless civil servants will do

This is first time since 1999 that a seasoned civil and construction engineer is heading the ministry of works.The minister needs to stand his ground if he going to bring the much needed transformation to our road infrastructure.

Umahi with the support of Tinubu can do without all of them. In the first instance those thieves don't do anything at the Secretariat apart from collection of bribese

That's the problem of this country. If u watch umahi u will know its impossible for the man not to deliver. They have never had a minister who is a big boy civil and construction engineer.

bros i am quite surprise u are writing this.I used to respect your views here.What has umahi done to them? are they being owed salaries and allowances? Mr president need to come out publicly and declare his unwavering support for Mr umahi.

It's not gonna be business as usual anymore, corrupt lazy bones.

Enemies and saboteurs are always within.

They reign supreme in every MDA of the government.

Making the system work is nearly impossible because the ones you'd be depriving of their freebies won't just fold their arms and watch while you render them jobless in their thieving enterprise.

The story of the entity known as Nigeria.

It seems somebody is getting somethings right, not business as usual. Most humans hate change, especially positive change. Ride on Mr. Minister you are likely on the right path.

Corruption fighting back with full force

You people will always find excuse..instead of you to condemn them for being late to work which has been their usual way, you decided to make excuse for them. How is federal ministry different from state ministry? So federal workers have the right to report late to work despite being paid salaries at the end of the month?

Make una Dey go work on time na. Wetin be all these?

Oga at the top, today wey you manage go early you say na ‘compound master’ work you go do. The workers too na werey dem be. Dem lock am inside. Make we see as you want take come outside😂

Oga just follow civil service rules with regards punishment for defaulters not all these primary/secondary school tings wey you dey do.

I thought by now the OHCSF should have arranged for buses to convey civil servants to work & back as part of the palliative to cushion the effect of subsidy “removal”. Abi dem no Dey reason go dat side? If na to share rice dia brain go work well.

See dem, if not for corruption, most of these people supposed to have abandoned their work without waiting for NLC or TUC strike notice. How are they coping with their salaries in this Tinubu economy? Why will a ministry lock workers out due to lateness during this subsidy period when some workers have been allowed to only come to office 3 times max in a week. I can see this ministry experiencing a total lockdown when the proposed strike kick off

Lazy people milking the country dry.

Lol 🤣 😂 😹 😃

Yeye, Lazy People.

Lateness has become a norm to them.
See People papa and mama dem embarrassing themselves like kids.

Y'all will learn, and you will learn the hardway.

Ride on Guv',
Na man u be.

Ttipsy:
Useless and unserious workers

No mind dem

Ok, noted.

That’s bad
