The team was received by the Chief Executive Officer, Administration, at the council, Mrs. Lorita Akwuchie.
The unscheduled visit followed a video, which went viral on the social media, recently, showing the local council headquarters deserted on Friday, April 5, contrary to the directive by Peter Mbah’s Administration to civil servants in the state to revive productivity by working five days in a week.
Taking a tour of all the offices and departments in the council headquarters, the team, which comprised the Head of Service, Mr. Kenneth Ugwu; Principal Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Ken Chukwuegbo; Chairman, Enugu State Chapter of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Ben Asogwa; and the Chairman, Joint Public Service Negotiating Council, Comrade Ezekiel Omeh, among others, met only 36 out of the over 200 council workers on ground.
The team vowed that the acts of negligence and absence from duty without permission by the council workers would not go unpunished; reminding civil servants across the state that productivity remained the watchword of the Mbah Administration.
The Head of Service, who led the monitoring team, directed that queries be issued to all the council workers not found on duty.
