Minister of Works and Housing, Dave Umahi, has apologised to staff of the ministry after he reportedly locked them out of their offices for resuming late for work on Thursday.
The apology was sequel to an impromptu protest by the workers who equally locked the former Ebonyi State Governor inside the premises of the ministry and refused to allow him leave.
Umahi had decided on the extreme measure after he arrived the ministry’s complex ahead of some directors and staff in the morning and angered by their late arrival at work, ordered that they should be denied access to their respective offices whenever they resumed.
