It was gathered that only a few workers reported at work after the two-day public holiday as expected with many of the offices not opened.
One of the few workers who resumed on Friday told NAN that most workers usually travel to their home towns for the celebration and would usually extend the holiday.
The civil servant who spoke on the ground of anonymity said he too would have stayed back at home if not that he was on essential duty.
He also explained that many also did not resume work since it is already just a day to the weekend. Some federal establishments in the state also reportedly witnessed a low turnout as only a few workers were at their duty posts.
