The Jigawa State government has allowed the reduction of official working hours in the state by two hours, to enable Muslims in their fast of Ramadan.
This was disclosed by the Public Relations Officer, Office of the State Head of the Civil Service, Ismaila Ibrahim Dutse in a report by Daily Post.
Ibrahim Dutse said this is in line with the 2021 Ramadan fast, saying all civil servants in the state would report to the office at 9 am and close by 3 pm for Monday to Thursday, close at 1 pm on Friday.
He further clarified that this gesture was aimed at providing more opportunities and time to prepare for their Ramadan break (Iftar) and give more room for spiritual activities.
It is believed that civil servants in the state would use the Ramadan period to pray for God’s guidance and blessings for the state.
Dutse, therefore, called on Muslims to pray for peace and unity and security and prosperity of the State and Nigeria.
