The Anambra State Government has taken action against civil servants who observed the sit-at-home days previously declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra. As a consequence, the government has slashed the February salaries of employees who did not report to work on these Mondays. The decision is part of broader efforts to discourage the Monday sit-at-home protests and to ensure that workers adhere to their regular duties.

Additionally, the government announced the initiation of pro-rata salary payments from February 2026, which will calculate salaries based on attendance. This change is seen as a means to further enforce attendance and diminish the impact of the protests that have plagued the state in recent months. The government also declared an end to the sit-at-home protests, which may be an effort to restore normalcy and improve economic activity in the region.

Though the announcement was made, many workers expressed dissatisfaction with the deductions from their salaries. Reports indicate that some employees found the reductions to be inconsistent with the number of Mondays they missed, leading to complaints about the fairness of the cuts. As such, the policy implementation has been contentious and has raised concerns among the workforce in Anambra regarding the actions taken by their government to manage protests and enforce compliance with work attendance.
