LAGOS CIVIL SERVANTS VACATE OFFICES OVER PROTEST RUMOUR

Workers of the Lagos State Government at the State Secretariat, Alausa, have continued to flee their offices en masse due to speculation that there will be protest when results for the Presidential election are released.
A visit by our correspondent to most ministries in Ikeja on Monday afternoon revealed that offices had been deserted while staff car parks were almost empty.
A source in the Head of Service office denied the issuance of a purported circular ordering workers to go home.
As of the time of filing this report, the State Executive Council meeting, presided by Governor Babatunde Fashola, is underway at the Lagos House in Ikeja.
A senior government official told our correspondent that there was no security report to justify workers fleeing their offices.
