Following the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs’ declaration of the commencement of the Ramadan fast, Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi has approved a reduction in official working hours for civil servants.
This was announced in a letter signed by the permanent secretary at the Ministry for Establishment, Pension and Training, Hafsat Ibrahim-Tune, on Wednesday.
“The Kebbi Governor, Dr Nasir Idris, has approved the reduction of the official working hours by two hours during the current Ramadan fasting period.
“The new working hours are as follows: Monday to Thursday are 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., while Friday is 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m,” said the statement.
