The Federal Government has threatened to sanction unvaccinated civil servants, who returned home after they were barred from entering their offices on Wednesday. The Technical lead of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, Dr Mukhtar Muhammed, who disclosed this in an interview with one of our correspondents, said the adamant civil servants would be sanctioned according to the civil service rules. When asked what would happen to workers who returned home, Mohammed said, “There is a civil service rule that takes care of that aspect. Now, we do not even have enough vaccines yet, when you force civil servants to get vaccinated what happens to others? The police and civil defence because these people even interact more with the public than the civil servants.
