The Anambra State Government has announced the termination of the Monday sit-at-home in the state “with immediate effect”.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Board Secretary, Mgbemena Loveline E., on behalf of the state universal basic education board.
It read “Sequel to the state exco retreat held on January 21, 2026, presided by the Executive Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, I am directed to inform you that the state government has directed, and also as a decision, that the protracted Monday sit-at-home in Anambra State has been abolished with immediate effect.
“By this directive, any staff, both tutorial and non-tutorial, who fail to attend to school or the office on Monday will either receive 20 per cent of his/her salary or forfeit it entirely,”
“You are to bring the content of this letter to the notice of all staff under you and ensure adequate compliance.
“Please be properly guided, as the above is the executive decision of the state government,” the statement added.
Anambra as other states in the South East zone of the country have for years grappled with the sit – at home order reportedly imposed by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB and its Militant Wing, Eastern Security Network. The action has caused economic woes as markets shut down and traders,,transporters and even corporate organisations count their losses.
