The Anambra State Government has announced that salaries for civil servants will be paid on a pro-rata basis


The Anambra State Government has announced that, effective February 2026, salaries for civil servants will be paid on a pro-rata basis in response to the ongoing Monday sit-at-home directive enforced by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

The measure is intended to encourage workers to resume duties on Mondays and mitigate economic losses linked to the weekly shutdowns.

The state Commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, disclosed the decision on Saturday in Awka, explaining that the initiative was adopted during the end-of-tenure retreat of the Anambra State Executive Council.

“The thing has to be done. Four years is enough. The economic loss of the sit-at-home runs into trillions since it started, according to an international firm. It is a decision the state government has taken, and the implementation is already ongoing,” Mefor said.

He clarified that salaries will be calculated based on a 24-working-day month, dividing a worker’s pay to determine the amount due at the end of the month.

The retreat, he said, reviewed the administration of Governor Chukwuma Soludo over the past four years and outlined priorities for the new term commencing March 17, 2026.

  2. Why igbo can’t sit down in their side, del always come 2 north

  3. Does he have any investment in Anambra state? What is his role as the governor , to aminiorate the hardship anamberians are facing. Rather he introduced multiple taxation on the said people he wants to mitigate economic hardship melted on them as a result of Monday sit at home .

    Let him first be people’s oriented than trying to satisfy his pay masters .

  4. Have the Government provided solutions to the insecurity

  5. From the comment, people are actually being forced to sit l at home. Since there are enforcers? The sit at home isn’t people’s will after all.

  6. Can he protect them? What has he done for those that have been killed?

  7. How can the people decide not to go to work and ignore the Constitution???? Na wa o Biafra people

  9. Good!

    No one is stopping you from solidarity.

    But you’ll not be paid for the day of your solidarity. Simple!
