SSG and other Govt officials locked
out for lateness to work
Concerned by the inability of
some government officials to resume work at the appropriate time, Cross River
State Governor Ben Ayade on Wednesday denied the Secretary to the State
Government (SSG), Tina Agbor and some others entrance to the government house. The
governor after arriving office before 7.30am was said to have instructed that
the gate be locked while he monitored activities at the gate with the CCTV device
from his office. However, while his deputy, Prof. Ivara Esu who came at about
8am was allowed entrance, Agbor and some civil servants who came late were
locked out.
The governor’s Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. Christian Ita, was among the few political appointees who were
not locked out having resumed work as at 8am. Security operatives in the
governor’s convoy were reportedly used to lock out security aides and other
appointees who came in late to office. The late comers were meant to stay out
till around 9:am when the gate was eventually opened for them to come in. Recall
that the Cross Rivers State governor had also in June 2015, locked out workers
who came after 8am, from entering their offices.
