Reports just reaching us indicate that the President Muhammadu Buhari may re-start the war against indiscipline.
Some social media users said that they were locked out at Federal Secretariat today as they were late for work.
Aishat Alubankudi posted the photo on her Facebook account.
She said: “It’s alleged that late comers were locked out at Federal Secretariat today! WAI (war Against Indiscipline) has started!”

Reacting to the development Rex Michael Ogboro said: “During Jonathan’s reign senators were seen jumping the gates breaking the gates and abusing powers lavishing abuses from their mouth onto securities personnel. Would that repeat this now?”
“If you want you work, work if not resign give other serious minded people chance. Be discipline,” added Abosede Olaleye Fagbemi from Lagos.
Amidu Alakitan, student from Ibadan praises Buhari, saying that this is “the dawn of a new era.”
“I know we have a long way to go in bringing back lots of our lost values. With this happening, we are on the right track. Consequent ones should attract punishment /appropriate discipline,”Adegboyega Adebayo, worker from Lagos, supposed.
It would be recalled that Buhari ruled Nigeria from January 1984 until August 1985, taking charge after a military coup in December 1983.
One of the most enduring legacies of his government has been the War Against Indiscipline (WAI). Launched on March 20, 1984, the policy tried to address the perceived lack of public morality and civic responsibility of Nigerian society.
Unruly Nigerians were ordered to form neat queues at bus stops, under the eyes of whip-wielding soldiers. Civil servants, who failed to show up on time at work were humiliated and forced to do “frog jumps”.
Minor offences carried long sentences. Any student over the age of 17 caught cheating on an exam would get 21 years in prison. Counterfeiting and arson could lead to the death penalty.
