Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia on Wednesday, made an unscheduled visit to the state secretariat, only to find a minimal presence of workers.
Arriving at 10:35 am, Governor Alia’s convoy prompted security personnel to lock the gates, effectively locking out hundreds of civil servants.
As he toured the facilities, the governor expressed dismay over the absence of several commissioners and high-ranking officials.
Addressing the gathered workers who had been locked out, Alia voiced concerns about their lackluster work ethic, warning that their behavior has consequences not only for their duties but also for their families. He further emphasized his authority to take disciplinary action.
The governor reminded the workers that, as government representatives, they bear a collective responsibility to adhere to rules and regulations.
