Anambra Cautions Workers Over Absence From Work On Mondays

The Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, C. Don Adinuba, has informed all public service workers that Mondays are work-free days in the state.

Adinuba informed all individuals and organisations in the state that work has resumed in earnest in Anambra State.

This information was contained in a press statement on Sunday in Awka.

He said:

“This reminder became imperative in view of the tendency of some people to observe in the last few months every Monday as a work-free day.

“Work free day was observed in the state in compliance with the directive by some non-state actors in an effort to press the Federal Government to free the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“Kanu is standing trial for some charges in Abuja, brought by the federal administration.

“The IPOB leadership has suspended the directive requiring people to stay at home every Monday which it said would start from Monday, September 15, 2021, throughout the Southeast geopolitical zone.

“The IPOB leadership has in the last few days reiterated the suspension, warning that any person who still tries to enforce the earlier decision is on his or her own and will, therefore, be dealt with accordingly.

“The IPOB leadership has kept every pledge it has made, including rescinding its decision to thwart the November 6 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.
“In fact, far from disrupting the election, IPOB encouraged the people of Anambra State to come out in their numbers and exercise their democratic right on November 6.

“The election is now recognised as easily the most peaceful and the fairest election since the State was created in 1991.”
