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 on Monday that the State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, has directed that the work days be reduced from five days to three days per week for every worker.
The Chief Press Secretary in the office of the Head of Service, Murtala Atoyebi, said in a statement on Monday that Mrs. Oluwole clarified 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 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.
