Gov Namadi reduces workhours for Jigawa workers to observe Ramadan
Governor Umar Namadi has approved reducing workhours for workers in Jigawa by two hours for the 2024 Ramadan fast.
Muhammad Dagaceri, the head of the service, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Dutse.
Mr Dagaceri said workers were expected to report to work at 9:00 a.m., and close at 3:00 p.m., from Mondays to Thursday instead of the normal 5:00 p.m.
“Furthermore, workers would report to work on Fridays by 9:00 a.m. and close by 1:00 p.m., as usual,” he said.
He said the aim was to provide workers with opportunities to prepare for the break of the fast and observe spiritual activities during Ramadan.
Mr Dagaceri hoped the workers would use the Ramadan fast to pray for God’s guidance and blessings.
“It is also our hope that civil servants will use the fasting period to pray for the peace and economic prosperity of the state and Nigeria at large,’’ he said.
