Few days after the Christmas celebration, there was a low turn out of workers on Friday at the state secretariat in Osogbo, Osun capital.
According to NAN, few workers reported at work on Friday after the two-day public holiday declared by the Federal Government.
A further report has it that some offices were closed at Olorunda Local Government Secretariat and the State Secretariat, Abere, in Osogbo.
A civil servant who spoke on the situation stated that most workers usually travelled to their home towns for the celebration and would usually extend the holiday.
“If not that I am on essential duty, I also would still be at home with my family enjoying the Christmas holiday.”
“Most of us use the holidays to be with our family and loved ones and most people travel home to be with their extended family.”
”You see, when any holiday is close to the weekend, most people will see the weekend as bonus because it will not make sense to be rushing back to work on a Friday when the next day is Saturday.”
“I travelled to my home town with my wife and children so as to celebrate the Yuletide with my parents, but because I am on essential duty , I had to leave them to resume work and hopefully, by the close of work today, I will return to them,” he said.
Banks were filled after days of away from business as customers were sighted transacting their businesses.
