The Lagos State Government has extended its Work-From-Home initiative for civil servants, aimed at alleviating economic pressure on workers in the state.
The Head of Service, Bode Agoro, announced on Friday that the initiative would commence on June 3, 2024, and conclude on September 3, 2024.
He explained that the policy, which follows an earlier directive to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal on civil servants, was approved by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has magnanimously approved the extension of the Flexible Work Initiative for additional Three (3) Months with effect from 3rd June to 3rd September 2024,” the statement partly read.
“Due to the peculiarities of their work schedules, Staff Of Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS), Teaching Staff in Basic and Secondary Schools, Healthcare Workers, Clinical Staff, Allied Health Professionals in clinical facilities as well as First Responders in the State and Drivers are hereby exempted from the Work-from-home initiative on the grounds that there has been a Roster, Shift or Call Duty arrangement which would be continued.
