Following the removal of fuel subsidy, the Kwara state government has tried to cushion the effect on its workers by approving a temporary palliative measure for them.
One of the measures is to reduce work days from five to three days.
This was made known by the Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe Oluwole via a statement through her spokesman, Murtala Ayotebi in Ilorin, Kwara state capital
Oluwole said: “The State Governor, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has directed that the workdays be reduced from five days to three days per week for every worker.”
She directed all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the state to immediately work out a format indicating the alternating work days for each worker under them.
The Kwara State Head of Service warned the workers not to abuse the magnanimity of the governor, stressing that the regular monitoring of MDAs by her office would be intensified to ensure strict compliance.
