The Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalong on Thursday carried out a surprise on-the-spot check visit to all offices at the Ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.
The unscheduled visit caught many staff unawares as they were not on their seats.
Dalong demanded for explanation on why they were not in the office by 9.30am.
He equally demanded for actual time that some staff received official files and the time they took action on them.
Dalong also inspected the Ministry’s facilities and the open Registry.
He frowned at the poor ventilation and lack of conveniences like fan, air conditioners in some offices, a development he described as “not conducive for a result-oriented working environment”.
Barrister Dalong had during his handover ceremony on November 17, 2015 declared zero tolerance for corruption and warned staff against acts of indiscipline such as truancy, lateness and closing before official time.
He has also made it clear that he will not condone any act of indiscipline as the new change agenda calls for hard work, honesty, sincerity of purpose and sound work ethics.
