Civil servants in Abia State, on Tuesday, locked the Accountant-General out of her office and vowed not to open the doors until their salaries were paid.
The workers were protesting non-payment of months of their salaries in Umuahia, the state capital by barring access to the office of Mrs. Njum Onyemenam, the AG of the Ministry of Finance.
In a video that surfaced online, the men and women could be seen inside the office complex while the gate remained locked.
A witness said “All entrances leading to the Accountant-General’s office have been locked by the workers.”
