Ramadan: Jigawa Govt reduces working hours for civil servants
By Editor
Gov. Umar Namadi has approved a reduction in official working hours for civil servants in Jigawa State throughout the 2026 Ramadan fast.
This is contained in a statement signed by the State Head of Civil Service, Alhaji Muhammad Dagaceri.
According to him, civil servants will now work from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm from Monday to Thursday, instead of the usual 5:00 pm closing time. On Fridays, working hours will be from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, following existing practice.
Dagaceri said that the adjustment was intended to ease the burden on civil servants, allowing them more time to prepare for iftar and engage in Ramadan’s spiritual activities.
“It is expected that civil servants will take advantage of this period to pray for God’s guidance and blessings upon our state,” he stated.
He also encouraged workers to use the opportunity to pray for peace, stability, and economic prosperity in Jigawa State and across Nigeria.
