Rt. Hon. Danladi Jatau, the Speaker of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, as on Wednesday, locked out several staff members of the assembly for arriving late to work.
This was an attempt to correct the anomaly of lack of punctuality from the staff’s end. The Speaker expressed disappointment over such an action toward work.
Upon his arrival at the office by 8:30 am, an inspection was carried out to know the number of staff available and punctuality.
Jatau, however, expressed shocked and displeasure over the number of staff who were yet to resume to work.
Speaking to newsmen after the inspection, the Speaker stated that his administration would not tolerate indiscipline or any actions that could hinder the smooth operation of the legislative institution.
“Any organization that is not disciplined will not move forward. Staff must discipline themselves or we will discipline them,” Jatau warned.
He added that Governor Abdullahi Sule has been making efforts to improve the welfare of state workers, and the assembly under his leadership would continue to prioritize staff welfare, but would not overlook issues of indiscipline.
“I have instructed the Staff Officer to take action against any staff who is not punctual or not performing their duties as required,” Jatau said.
