Face mask vendors on Monday stormed the Federal Secretariat complex in Abuja on Monday as workers resumed their duties following the partial lifting of the lockdown by the Federal Government to curb the spread COVID-19.
Our correspondent saw many of the vendors display different designs of the face masks at the secretariat.
However, our correspondent observed that nearly everybody at the secretariat wore a face mask.
The colorful face masks were being sold for between N200 and N500.
Apart from the secretariat, face mask sellers were also seen at traffic lights, junctions, and supermarkets in Abuja.
Our correspondent also observed that many workers turned up for work at the secretariat on Monday.
Checks at ministries of Science and Technology, Communications and Digital Economy, and others showed that most officers on grade level 14 and above resumed their duties.
It was the same situation at the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Finance, Budget and National Planning, and others.
