Again, fuel hike forces Lagos to implement work-from-home policy

Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has approved the extension of work-from-home for state workers. In a circular signed by the state Head of Service, Bode Agoro, on Wednesday 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 is aimed at reducing the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on the workers. Mr 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 September 4. (NAN)
