Prof. Ben Ayade, the governor of the state of Cross River, shut out employees of his office in Calabar on Wednesday, September 14, because they were late for work.
Following a lengthy journey outside of the state, the governor took this measure, and on Wednesday when business resumed, employees who weren’t on duty at that time were prohibited from visiting their offices.

Dominic Akwaji, Head of Service, commented on the situation and said that the workers’ lockout was the result of their tardiness.
According to him;
The team arrived at the governor’s office yesterday and took note of workers that were not on duty.
Today, the team came back and some workers still came late to work despite the presence of his team yesterday and hence the decision to shut them out.
He added that administrative measures will be taken against the affected workers.
