Government offices in Osun State capital Osogbo recorded sparse attendance Friday as civil servants resumed for 2026, with many buildings yet to buzz fully.
News Agency of Nigeria correspondents noted scanty activity: Banks saw few customers; federal establishments largely empty save security at gates; Abere Secretariat had just a handful at posts.
Staffer Waheed Alabi explained: “Most traveling back from hometowns within state—on their way.”
Colleague Adebimpe Olakitan added: “Friday resumptions often mean seniors return Monday; optimism for a prosperous year ahead despite challenges.”
Pattern mirrors national post-holiday dips, amplified by economic pressures (2025 inflation at 28%, pending wage reviews delaying full momentum).
Expect fuller houses next week.
