Reno Omokri Advocates for Half-Day Closure on Fridays for Muslim Prayers

Former presidential aide Reno Omokri suggested that Nigeria should close offices by noon on Fridays to allow Muslims to attend prayers. Omokri argued that the current work schedule is unfair to Muslims who are required to work on Fridays, a significant day for their faith.

He proposed starting work earlier from Monday to Thursday to compensate for the half-day closure on Fridays, ensuring productivity is maintained. Omokri emphasized the need for a balanced work-life schedule for Muslims in Nigeria, highlighting the historical context of Friday as a day of rest under colonial rule.

He believes this adjustment would promote equity and respect for Muslim worship practices without negatively impacting the country's productivity.
