Sit-at-home: Soludo orders Anambra workers to work on Mondays or be sanctioned

Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Governor of Anambra State, has directed that all public officials in the state report to work on Mondays, as well as other weekdays.

Since the commencement of the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the organization has called for a Monday business shutdown but has since revoked the statement.

Despite the separatist group’s rescinding of the decision, there has been fear of assaults on individuals who go to work, leading to a prolonged stay at home on Mondays.

Saturdays have been used as working days in several sections of the state, including schools and banks, as a replacement for Monday.

In a circular dated today, 25th March 2022, which was signed by Igwegbe and sighted by reporters, Soludo warned that absence from work on Mondays will attract sanctions.

Part of the memo read: “Following the need to reposition the service for better performance and productivity, His Excellency, the governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has directed that henceforth, all public servants should report at their places of work every Monday as every other weekdays.

“Consequently, absence from work on Monday, or any other workday without any approval will be viewed as serious misconduct, which will attract appropriate sanctions. This directive takes immediate effect.”
