M.U Bago, Nobody needs a whole seven days holiday unless you are sending your entire civil servants on vacation. That amounts to lost productivity! With this our economic predicament it unwise for such extended absence! You are paying them seven days salary for free, haba, Alhaji! I am assuming that the Muslim holidays will double that.
