Breaking: FCTA locks out workers yet to receive COVID-19 vaccine

All unvaccinated workers and visitors were on Monday morning barred from entering the premises of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).

A crowded scene was observed as early as 8am at the gate as many workers and visitors were seen stranded, grumbling and begging to gain access.

The administration issued a memo last week advising staff to go and take their COVID-19 vaccines to avoid the latest development.

The Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to the FCT Minister, Ikharo Attah, who heads the surveillance team, vowed the enforcement will be sustained to ensure maximum compliance.
