Kwara Government Implements Temporary Work Schedule Reduction for Civil Servants.
The Head of Service in Kwara State, Mrs. Susan Oluwole, has announced a temporary measure to alleviate the challenges faced by public workers in the state due to the significant increase in transport fares caused by the removal of fuel subsidy. The state governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has directed that work days for civil servants be reduced from five days to three days per week.
Mrs. Oluwole stated that the decision aims to relieve state workers of the hardships resulting from the fuel subsidy removal implemented by the federal government. She further instructed all Heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) in the state to develop a schedule indicating the alternating work days for each employee under their purview.
While emphasizing the need for compliance, Mrs. Oluwole warned workers not to misuse the governor’s benevolence. The Head of Service assured that her office would intensify monitoring of MDAs to ensure strict adherence to the new work schedule.
