Niger State’s Governor Umaru Bago has warned civil servants in the state to avoid wearing native attire of Kaftans and Babanriga to offices from Monday to Thursday.
Bago gave the order during the presentation of land development and preparation equipment at the Brains and Hammers Rice City in Wushishi Local Government Area of the state over the weekend.
According to him, only English attire would be permitted for workers henceforth.
Any officer who failed to comply with the directive will be dismissed, he warned.
He announced: “From Monday, we will issue an order preventing civil servants from wearing kaftan and Babanriga to work between Monday and Thursday.
“No Babanriga, no Kaftan, we are here to work.
“Anybody who wants to wear Babanriga should resign.”
