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.”

Lol ... Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Good development, other states should do the same

Good motive, wrong move.
Why not think of a better palliative measure.

You are indirectly rendering the workforce redundant. After sometime, if the effect of missing two out of five work days is not felt, downsizing of civil servant may be contemplated.

This shows the workforce is just for cosmetic purposes.

If they are really giving real input, it will be a crisis to have 3 working days a week.
