Governor Sanwo-Olu
By ADERONKE OJEDIRAN
Lagos State Government has extended its work-from-home policy for its workers for the next three months.
Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the extension in a circular signed by the state Head of Service, Mr Bode Agoro, on Wednesday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that, on Feb. 28, the governor directed that the workers 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 in a week, while those on grade level 15 to 17 were allowed to work from home for one day in a week.
The decision was aimed at reducing the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on the workers.
Sanwo-Olu stated in the Wednesday’s circular that the policy made positive impacts on workers’ productivity in the various ministries, departments and agencies of the state government.
NAN reports that the extension took effect from Sept. 4. (NAN)
