Two water trucks belonging to the Federal Fire Service were packed at the car park section of the secretariat without any security guards.

LEADERSHIP also observed that some state government’s offices located opposite the federal Secretariat complex were also under lock and keys.

The offices include those of ministries of land, health, education and agriculture.

The Nasarawa State Geographic Information Service which shared the same space with the affected ministries was also not spared by workers as it was also closed down.
A few metres away from the location were the State Internal Revenue Service and Urban Development Board, both of which were also closed.

Like the federal secretariat, the gate of the Mustapha Agwai II Polytechnic owned by the state government was opened but the offices and classrooms were however empty.

Also shut was the main gate of the Federal University of Lafia although its students have since been on break after the first semester examination. The school is expected to resume for academic activities this Monday.

Prior to declaring the strike, the institution has been opened ahead of the resumption of academic activities with the admistrative block and some other offices fully functional.

The NLC Chairman in the state, Comrade Ayuba Okoh and his TUC counterpart, Mohammed Doma had on Sunday urged workers to comply with the directive of the national secretariat by staying away from offices as from Monday until contrary directive is issued.

As at the time of filling this report, the NLC leaders and those of the affliate bodies are in a meeting at the Labour House located on Makurdi Road, Lafia over the development.
