No More School On Fridays In Kaduna – Governor Nasir El-Rufai
Kaduna State Government led by Governor Nasir El-Rufai has directed all public schools in the state to migrate to 4 days lesson in a week.
This was contained in a memo credited to the Kaduna State Commissioner of Education, Honourable Halima Lawal dated January 8, 2022; addressed to all public school authorities in the state.
Kaduna State Government under the leadership of Nasir El-rufai had earlier commenced the removal of Friday as working day for workers in the state on December 1st, 2021.
Kaduna State Government in the earlier directive titled; “KDSG Begins Transition To Four-day Working Week From 1st December 2021” and signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye indicated that all public servants, other than those in schools and healthcare facilities, will work from home on Fridays.
But the latest statement credited to the Commissioner of Education, Honourable Halima Lawal shows schools that were earlier not included are now made to close operations on Fridays.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai said his decision to remove Fridays as working day in the state is a measure designed to help boost productivity, improve work-life balance and enable workers to have more time for their families, for rest and for agriculture.
But many are on the opinion that the Governor’s decision may be influenced by religion.
Some of the concerned citizens said Friday is usually a day of worship for the muslims and Governor Nasir El-Rufai who is also a muslim may considered it necessary to remove Friday as working days since government all over the country don’t recognize Sunday, which is usually a day of worship for the christians as a working day.
Statement from the Kaduna State Commissioner of Education reads thus:
The Kaduna State Government wishes to inform parents, guardians and the public that the resumption date for the 2nd term of the 2021/2022 academic session earlier slated for Monday, January 10th, 2022 remains unchanged.
