Scores of federal civil/public servants in Ibadan on Wednesday disregarded the directive by organised labour to boycott work in protest against fuel subsidy removal and its attendant hardship on Nigerians.
A NAN correspondent, who visited the Federal Secretariat Complex at Ikoloba in Ibadan, observed that workers were seen at their respective offices without any hindrance or harassment from any quarter.
Although the gate of the secretariat was closed, security personnel on duty opened it only for the workers to get to their offices
Some of the workers told NAN that they were federal workers and that it was only the federal government that could direct them to stay away from work or join the protest.
Another worker, who preferred to be anonymous, said that the organised labour was merely an association of workers and not his employer.
Head of Building Department, Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Mr Solomon Adedire, said that no directive emanated from his employer that he should join the protest or stay away from work.
