Yusuf, in a statement signed by the commission’s Secretary, Hajiya Mamman on Tuesday and made available to The PUNCH, said the adjustment of the work schedule for the commission’s staff members was necessary due to the effects of the fuel subsidy removal and the recent hike in the price of premium motor spirit, also known as petrol.
According to the PCC boss, the new work schedule will help to cushion the effects of the hardship imposed by the hike in fuel prices.
The statement reads, “Due to the recent fuel increase which represents a fifteen per cent (15%) increase from the amount we have been buying since the inception of this regime with its attendant consequences on everybody in Nigeria and our staff in particular, I am directed to request you to work out a work plan and attendance structure that will enable staff to work painstakingly.
“The office should be divided into two (2) teams, for equitable interchange within the week with Mondays being general attendance for everyone.
“This is to ameliorate the hardship being faced by staff due to the fuel subsidy removal.”
The statement added that the new work schedule will subsist till whenever the economic realities currently experienced in the country improve.
It added, “The arrangement will last till the situation improves.
“Please accept the Honourable Chief Commissioner’s esteemed regards.”
