…Warns workers not to abuse the privilege
The Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has reduced the working days for civil servants in the state to three days per week.
The announcement was made on Monday (June 5, 2023) by the State Head of Service, Mrs. Susan Modupe Oluwole, through a statement signed by her Chief Press Secretary, Mr Murtala Atoyebi.
The Head of Service said the decision was a temporary palliative measure to bring some ease to workers following the removal of the petrol subsidy by the Federal Government.
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.
However, 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.
