The Kwara State Government has approved as a form of temporary palliative measure, the reduction of working days from five to three in order to bring some ease to workers following the removal of petrol subsidy by the Federal Government.
The State Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe Oluwole announced the reduction in a statement on Monday. She said State Governor, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has directed that the workdays be reduced from five days to three days per week for every worker.
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.
