LAGOS State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has directed that workers in the state employment would work remotely on some days.
He directed that workers on grade levels 01 to 14 were allowed to work from home for two days a week, while those on grade levels 15 to 17 were allowed to work from home for one day a week.
The work-from-home policy would last for the next three months.
This announcement, contained in a circular signed by the state Head of Service, Bode Agoro, on Wednesday, quotes the governor as saying, “The decision is aimed at reducing the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on the workers.”
Recall that the governor had on 28 February 2024 directed that the workers operate remotely on some days.
He directed that workers on grade levels 01 to 14 were allowed to work from home for two days a week, while those on grade levels 15 to 17 were allowed to work from home for one day a week.
The decision was aimed at reducing the effects of the removal of fuel subsidies on the workers.
Sanwo-Olu stated in Wednesday’s circular that the policy made positive impacts on workers’ productivity in the various ministries, departments, and agencies of the state government.
The extension took effect from 4 September.
