Anambra State governor, Pro Chukwuma Soludo, has threatened that going forward, the government will cut the salaries of workers who observe the Monday sit-at-home order imposed by the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Soludo made the threat while addressing workers during the 2023 May Day celebration held on Monday at the Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, noting that the sit-at-home which has become an excuse for workers to stop coming to work on Mondays, would no longer be accepted by government.
“The illegal Monday sit-at-home has become an excuse for workers to stop coming to work on Mondays. This cannot continue. You cannot be working for just four days a week and earn full salaries,” Soludo said.
“We must get back to working on Mondays. If we do not go to work, we must not get our full salary. We must be paid proportionally with the number of days we work. If we must continue staying away from work on Mondays, then we will start coming to work on Saturday.
“You must do your work and we cannot be working for 70 per cent and earn 110 per cent. We will cut your salaries when you fail to come work on Monday,” he added.
