The Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose , who had arrived the state secretariat located along Ado-new Iyin road in company of the

Head of Service, Dr Gbenga Faseluka, were caught napping and found it difficult to extricate themselves from blame, having been warned by government at various fora.

Some of the workers came to work about 8.30 am, which the governor described as unfortunate and unacceptable to his government.

The affected workers, who burst into tears, had prostrated while those who were women, had knelt down and begged the governor to rescind the pronouncement to save them from being sacked.

The governor's Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, said the visit was part of unscheduled visits the governor would be paying to government offices.
