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.
The organised labour, under the aegis of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), had called for nationwide protests on Wednesday.
A visit 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.
Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the complex, Mr Sunday Dipeolu, revealed that his job was to protect the complex, the workers and everyone entering the building for lawful businesses.
Dipeolu said that 42 federal ministries, agencies and parastatals were occupying the complex and that he was bound to secure them.
According to him, he has no power to drive out any worker who decides to come to work.
