September 28, (THEWILL) – Protesting workers in the Ministry of Works, on Thursday, in Abuja, locked the Minister, Dave Umahi, inside his office.
The workers also blocked entry and exit into the building thereby preventing the Minister from leaving the office premises.
The workers, comprising the Housing and Works Ministry, accused Umahi of highhandedness, adding that the Minister prevented workers, who were late to work, from gaining access to their offices.
They alleged 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 concerns.
