SIT-AT-HOME ENFORCEMENT: ANAMBRA DEDUCTS FEBRUARY SALARIES FROM WORKERS ABSENT ON MONDAYS. (PHOTO).


The Anambra State Government has begun slashing February salaries of civil servants who failed to report for work on Mondays that were previously observed as sit-at-home days linked to separatist activities in the South-East. 


The state introduced a pro-rata salary payment policy, effective February 2026, requiring workers to attend work every Monday, with attendance confirmed via clock-in / clock-out records — to receive full pay. Under the new rule, anyone absent without verifiable attendance evidence faced deductions from their monthly wages. 


At the Jerome Udoji State Secretariat in Awka, several civil servants expressed shock after receiving their February salary alerts showing massive deductions that they say did not match the number of Mondays missed. 


One worker said a colleague received only ₦10,000 after cuts,

Another said out of a monthly ₦80,000+ salary, he received just ₦3,500. 


Affected staff described the deductions as excessive and irregular, suggesting possible errors in computation. Some workers who missed only one or two Mondays complained that their pay was reduced far more than expected. 


Responding to the controversy, Dr. Law Mefor, Anambra’s Commissioner for Information, confirmed that the salary cuts are punitive measures for failure to attend work on Mondays. He reiterated that attendance must be properly logged in order for staff to qualify for full pay.
