 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

 ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNMENT REITERATES MANDATORY STAFF ATTENDANCE ACROSS CIVIL SERVICE.

The Commissioner for Power and Water Resources, Engr. Julius Chukwemeka, has reiterated the directive of the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, mandating all civil servants in the state to report to work consistently on all official working days.


Engr. Chukwemeka emphasized that the practice of staying away from work—particularly on Mondays under the guise of the “sit-at-home” order must come to an end. He made this declaration during a management meeting with Heads of Departments held at the conference room of the Ministry of Power and Water Resources, Awka.


The commissioner further said that effective from February 2026, the payment of salaries to civil servants will be based on a pro-rata system, strictly tied to verified attendance and the actual number of days worked.


He warned that no staff member is permitted to write or sign the attendance register on behalf of another staff. Any officer found engaging in such acts will face disciplinary measures, including possible dismissal.


Engr. Chukwemeka said that any staff member absent from duty on medical grounds must formally notify the ministry in writing and submit a certified medical report for verification.


He also noted that any staff member who feels unable to comply with these requirements is advised to formally tender a resignation letter.


The Commissioner reminded staff that official resumption time is 8:00 a.m. daily, and that the attendance register will be closed by 9:00 a.m. each day and forwarded to the appropriate authority for necessary action.


The Anambra State Government remains committed to strengthening discipline, accountability, and improved service delivery across the civil service.
