Following the hike in transport fare, occasioned by fuel subsidy removal, the Kwara State government has reduced the working days to three days per week.
The state’s Head of Service, Mrs Susan
Oluwole announced the palliative in a statement on Monday.
The statement signed by Oluwole’s press
secretary, Murtala Atoyebi reads: “The Kwara State Government has taken
temporary measures to ease the burden of public workers in the State following
the astronomical hike in transport fare.
“The State Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe
Oluwole announced today that the State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq
has directed that the work days be reduced from five days to three days per
week for every worker.
“She explained that the measure was to
relieve the state workers of the hardship being experienced as a result of the
fuel subsidy removal announced by the Federal Government.
“Mrs Oluwole 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 Head of Service however, 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.”
