Government workers and Civil Servants in Katsina state are expected to resume work on Monday, June 8 as directed by Governor Aminu Bello Masari who called for the resumption of duty of all workers of the state and local government councils on a normal basis.

It states: โ€˜โ€™Permanent Secretaries and Chief Executive Officers of Ministries, Departments and Agencies to ensure enforcing of experts formulated guidelines and protocols for the resumption of work by the workersโ€™โ€™.
โ€œSuch guidelines and protocols include the provision of handwashing facilities in their respective ministries, departments, and agencies-MDAs. Workers should also be mandated to wear facemask at their duty post and ensure the enforcement of social and physical distancing in the officesโ€™โ€™.
In a related development, the Governor has also directed the re-opening of all weekly major markets in the state.
A statement signed by the Secretary to Government of the state, Dr. Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa said the directive followed a regular review meeting between the government and other stakeholders on the measures being taken to contain the spread of Covid-19 infection in the state.

He emphasized the need for people to strictly abide by the health and security protocols such as the consistent wearing of the facemask, maintaining of social and physical distancing as well as constant washing of hands with soap and hand sanitizers.
