Ademola Adeleke, governor of Osun, has approved a reduction in working hours for public servants in the state for the Ramadan and Lent fasting periods.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Osogbo by Olawale Rasheed, spokesperson to the governor, Adeleke said workers will close by 2pm from Monday to Thursday.
He added that work will end by 1pm on Fridays during the fasting period.
According to the statement, the new schedule takes effect from February 19.
A circular dated February 19, titled “Closure of Work During Ramadan and Lent Fasting Periods”, issued by Ayanleye Aina, the head of service, reaffirmed the directive.
“As part of the welfare packages of the state government for its workforce, the executive governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has approved that public servants should close work by 2.00pm from Mondays to Thursdays,” the circular reads.
“While work will close by 1.00pm on Fridays, during the ongoing Ramadan and Lent seasons only.
“This gesture of the governor is to enable public servants to have sufficient time to pray for the existing peace and tranquillity in the state to continue unhindered, more so that the gubernatorial election will be held in the state this year.”
The circular, however, noted that workers on essential services, especially medical personnel, are excluded from the directive because of the life-saving nature of their duties.
