Government activities were shut down in Ebonyi State as workers in the state obeyed the industrial action by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
Our correspondent gathered that all government offices and agencies, both federal and state, were under lock, and workers were seen stranded following their inability to gain entrance into their various premises.
Ebonyi State judiciary, banks, state ministries at the Centenary City, and federal ministries at Unity Square, Abakaliki, were all locked.
Even schools that opened for learning and teaching activities earlier in the morning closed immediately upon receiving information that the strike had started.
