Jigawa Governor Cuts Working Hours for Civil Servants During Ramadan
Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi has approved a reduction in working hours for civil servants during the 2025 Ramadan fast.
The announcement was made on Tuesday, March 4, in a statement issued by Muhammad Dagaceri, Public Relations Officer of the State Head of Civil Service, in Dutse, the state capital.
“Effective immediately, civil servants in the state will now report to the office at 9:00 AM and close at 3:00 PM from Monday to Thursday. This represents a reduction of two hours from the previous closing time of 5:00 PM. On Fridays, civil servants will report to work at 9:00 AM and close at 1:00 PM, as is customary,” Dagaceri said. He explained that the adjustment aims to allow civil servants more time to prepare for the daily Ramadan break and engage in spiritual activities.
“It is hoped that civil servants in the state will use the Ramadan period to pray for God’s guidance and blessings for our state,” he stated. Dagaceri also emphasized the importance of praying for peace and economic prosperity in both the state and the country.
“The reduction in working hours is a welcome move for civil servants in the state, who will now have more time to focus on their spiritual activities during the holy month. We want to provide them with ample time to observe their spiritual activities and prepare for the Ramadan break,” he said. He added that the government’s decision reflects its commitment to creating a supportive work environment for employees, especially during Ramadan.
“Civil servants in the state are expected to take advantage of this opportunity to focus on their spiritual activities and spend quality time with their families,” he stated.
