In order to reduce the price of petroleum products in the country and reduce national expenses, the government is considering a 4-day work week and 3-day holiday in the public and private sectors.

A private media report quoted sources as saying that this proposal, which has come out at the federal level, will be applicable to public and private offices, schools, colleges and universities across the country.

It has been further informed in this regard that it has been decided in the meeting that the institutions will remain completely closed for 3 days. The main objective of this measure is to save financial resources by reducing fuel, electricity and administrative expenses.

The authorities have issued instructions to all relevant departments to prepare a new schedule and formulate procedures. In the new system, some staff will be given office attendance while some will be given the facility of work from home.

The final procedure for attendance will be clear after the official notification in this regard, which aims to limit the effects of petroleum shortage.

It should be noted that the decision has not yet been officially confirmed in this regard, nor has any official notification been issued. However, reports citing private media sources have provided details of the government meeting and important decisions.
