Civil Servants in Abuja Resume Work Early Amidst Eid-el-Fitr Celebration

Despite the Eid-el-Fitr public holiday declared by the Federal Government, many civil servants in Abuja chose to resume work early due to economic challenges facing the country.

Reasons Behind the Early Resumption

• High Cost of Transportation: Several civil servants reported that they couldn't afford to travel to their homes for the celebration due to the high cost of transportation.
• Delayed Salaries: Some civil servants cited delayed salary payments as another reason for their early resumption at work, highlighting the financial difficulties they face.

Civil Servants Call for Government Intervention

Civil servants are calling on the Federal Government to take urgent steps to ease the financial hardships they are facing. They are appealing for subsidies on transportation costs, which are currently unreliable and costly.

'The current situation is affecting our productivity,' said Emmanuel Joseph, a respondent. 'The government needs to take urgent steps to ease the hardship,' he added.
