NEWS: FAYOSE TO PUNISH 31 EKITI CIVIL SERVANTS FOR LATENESS TO WORK

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, on Monday recommended punishments for 31 civil servants who went late to work during the governor’s unscheduled visit to the state secretariat.

Mr. Fayose arrived at the secretariat in company of the Head of Service, Gbenga Faseluka, at 8.00a.m. ahead of the staff.


Some of the affected workers prostrated and knelt down to beg the governor for forgiveness.

But Mr. Fayose turned down their pleas, saying their conduct was unacceptable.

He directed his aides and the Head of Service to take the names of the affected workers, saying that disciplinary actions must be taken against them.

“If a labourer is worth his wages, the employer also is worth his services. I have warned workers in the state repeatedly about coming late to work or taking their jobs with laxity. Despite the paucity of funds, we have been regularly paying workers’ salaries,” Mr. Fayose said.

“If workers are paid regularly, the workers too must justify our efforts and work for the money they earn.
