CROSS RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR LOCKS OUT LATE COMERS

The newly inaugurated governor of cross rivers state Prof Ben Ayade yesterday 1st of june locked out staffs of the cross rivers state government house, for coming late to work.

PUNCH  reported, that the governor  arrived at the state complex at around 7:45am and directed Mrs. Mary-Theresa Ikwen, who is the Head of Service, to lock all the gate leading to government house, at exactly 8:10am. Prof Ben who on his first day in office, gave this order when he discovered that the complex was almost empty.

The governor therefore said, “If heads of MDAs could report to work as early as 8am, I see no reason why their subordinates should not be in their respective offices on or before that time. For those who are late today, we will pardon them but from tomorrow, all latecomers will be locked outside and sanctioned accordingly.”
