Staff of the Federal ministry of works and infrastructure on Thursday, called for the removal of their minister, Engr. Dave Umahi for allegedly locking them out for coming to work late.
The Protesting workers reportedly locked the minister inside his office, while accusing him of highhandedness.
The union members comprising the Housing and Works Ministry decided to lock up the ministry.
The workers also blocked entry and exit into the building thereby preventing the minister from leaving the office premises.
They also claimed 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 concern.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, the protesters said Umahi must go.
