The management of University of Ibadan, Oyo State, has directed its staff to work for three days a week.
The institution made this disclosure through a special release signed by the institution’s Registrar and Secretary to Council, Ganiyu Saliu,
It explained that the decision was taken in view of the recent removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol.
It lamented that salary earners who have to commute to work every working day are faced with an aggravation of the condition, given the attendant hike in transport fares and cost of living.
The release added that after a careful consideration of the situation, management of the institution has recommended a temporary work schedule adjustment for members of staff.
He maintained that the senate of the institution, at its meeting held on Thursday, 3 August, 2023, considered and approved the decision, which took effect on Monday, 14 August, 2023.
The statement added that people on essential duties are exempted from this adjustment.
It urged staff members to maintain commitment, open communication and cooperation towards ensuring free workflow, including working from home where and when necessary, asking deans, directors, heads of departments and units to work towards a smooth implementation of the intervention.
