Activities were grounded to a halt at the Federal Ministry of Works as workers staged a protest after the minister, David Umahi, ordered that they should be locked out for reporting late for work.
The workers numbering about 300 protested at the entrance of the ministry for about nearly four hours against the minister’s order before normalcy was restored.
During the protest, they also blocked entrances to the ministry located in the Mabushi area of Abuja thus preventing visitors from gaining entry.
